PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL



Penne with Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 large Spanish onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed with a sprinkle of kosher salt and finely chopped to a paste
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
8 ounces penne pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus 3/4 cup, for garnish
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Calabrian red chile flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup fresh ricotta, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan or saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions, garlic and tomatoes with the juice. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the penne and 2 tablespoons salt and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
  • Mash the tomatoes again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin out the sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional pasta water if necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the pan and combine. Cook the pasta in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more grated cheese as the pasta cooks. Add some of the basil and parsley and the chile flakes and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large shallow serving dish and top with freshly grated cheese. Top with the ricotta and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley; serve immediately.

BAKED PENNE WITH GROUND BEEF AND TOMATO SAUCE



Baked Penne With Ground Beef and Tomato Sauce image

Of course you can use your favorite bottled pasta sauce of your choice to make this recipe, but it is really the sauce that makes this (do not omit the green bell pepper, I also add in a jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped but that is optional) To save some time and to allow the flavors to blend I strongly suggest to prepare the sauce 1-2 days in advance and refrigerate, this sauce freezes well for up to 3 months. Do not over cook the pasta as it will cook even more in the oven...you will *LOVE* this!

salt
1 lb penne
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato (chopped)
1/2-3/4 cup dry red wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Using a variety of tomatoes will give your sauce a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking your sauce, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering your sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavor and thicken the sauce.
  • Season your sauce to taste: Be sure to season your sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.

Conclusion:

Penne with two tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a flavorful and delicious sauce that will impress your family and friends.
