Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces penne pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups (about 9 ounces) cherry tomatoes
1 cup shelled fresh peas
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the Parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan and chopped basil.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES



Penne With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes image

This exquisitely simple recipe came to The Times in a 2001 article about Paola di Mauro, an Italian winemaker in Marina, a small town southeast of Rome. She was one of a band of cooks who helped distinguish "cucina casalinga," roughly translated as "housewives' cooking." From her humble kitchen, Ms. di Mauro mentored some of the best Italian chefs and restaurateurs in the United States, including Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Piero Selvaggio and Tony May. Her recipe is easy and calls for just five ingredients - cherry tomatoes, olive oil, pecorino romano and penne pasta - but get your hands on the best ingredients you can afford. Ms. di Mauro intended this to serve four as a first course, but if you're making this for dinner, double the recipe.

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano, more for serving

Drain pasta and add to casserole. Fold tomatoes and pasta together, adding another 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it is dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.

CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE WITH PENNE



Cherry Tomato Sauce with Penne image

The best ways to eat cherry tomatoes are as follows: plucked warm off the vine and eaten raw standing in front of the plant. Next best is raw, in some sort of salad. Third best is made into a sauce as I've done here. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cherry tomatoes (such as Sun Gold)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
14 ounces penne pasta
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Combine cherry tomatoes, oil, garlic, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until garlic is just toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth into tomato mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes start to collapse and burst, about 10 minutes. Stir oregano and red pepper flakes into tomato mixture.
  • Puree tomato mixture with a stick blender until sauce is smooth.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot. Pour tomato sauce over penne and stir until pasta absorbs some of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

2 lbs cherry tomatoes (red and yellow)
6 -8 garlic cloves, sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds red and yellow cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 pound penne
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
Additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Halve each tomato and place cut side up in one flat layer on the baking sheets. Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Roast until the tomatoes are dried around the edges but still moist, about 2 hours.
  • Crumble the goat cheese into large chunks and refrigerate until ready to serve the pasta.
  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Remove 1 cup of the cooking liquid and reserve. Drain the pasta well and return to the pot. Add the tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, reserved cooking liquid, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes for the best results. Roasting intensifies their sweetness and brings out their natural umami.
  • Don't overcrowd the tomatoes on the baking sheet. Give them some space so they can roast evenly.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are slightly blistered and caramelized. This will give them a delicious smoky flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. It will help to bring out the flavors of the tomatoes and garlic.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is always best. It adds a nutty, salty flavor to the dish.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil instead. But fresh basil is definitely preferred.
  • Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

This penne with roasted cherry tomatoes is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The roasted tomatoes are sweet and flavorful, and the garlic and basil add a delicious savory note.

So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious pasta dish, give this one a try.
