Penne with Garrotxa, Serrano Ham, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Stephanie Stiavetti

Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Tomato     Bake     Dinner     Ham     Boil     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces penne
1 pound Garrotxa, shredded
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
6 ounces serrano ham slices, torn coarsely by hand into chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 2. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain through a colander. Set aside.
  • 3. In a saucepan, combine cheese, milk, crème fraîche, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat until cheese is mostly melted and you have a creamy sauce. To keep the cheese sauce from breaking, remove the sauce from the heat before the cheese is entirely melted. Season with pepper, adding more to taste if you like.
  • 4. In a shallow buttered casserole dish, toss pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and Serrano ham. Pour the sauce over the pasta, then stir together until combined. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Fresh, sun-dried tomatoes and creamy goat cheese will make all the difference.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape better in the sauce.
  • Sauté the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in olive oil: This will help to release their flavor and عطر. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Use a good-quality white wine: The white wine adds a subtle flavor to the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Add the goat cheese at the end: This will help to prevent it from curdling. Stir until the goat cheese is melted and creamy.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of dried oregano or basil.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, so make sure to serve it immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

This penne with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta dish to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
