PENNE AL BAFFO (CREAMY TOMATO-HAM PASTA)



Penne al Baffo (Creamy Tomato-Ham Pasta) image

"Al Baffo" is said to be the abbreviated version of an Italian expression "da leccarsi i baffi," which translates to "it is so good you'll lick your whiskers," because the sauce is abundant, thick and creamy. Tomato, ham and cream come together in this simple pasta sauce to form a comforting and easy weeknight meal. Cooked ham (as Italians call it, "prosciutto cotto"), is a hearty addition, as it provides texture and necessary salt. This recipe calls for deli ham, but you can substitute prosciutto or even pancetta if the mood strikes. An extra shower of Parmigiano before serving is a must for this filling meal.

Categories     dinner, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
8 ounces sliced deli ham, cut into little squares
1 (28-ounce) can tomato passata (purée)
1 pound penne
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Add the shallot, garlic and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until shallots and garlic soften but are not yet brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ham and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato purée. Add ¼ cup of the boiling salted water from the pot to the can, stir to loosen any purée, then add the liquid to the pan. Season the sauce with salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package instructions until al dente; drain well.
  • Reduce the heat to low and then add the cream, cheese and salt; stir to combine. Add the drained pasta, and toss to coat. Transfer pasta to a serving dish and top with more cheese.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh vegetables, high-quality ham, and a flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the ham and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the ingredients to steam instead of brown, and the dish will be less flavorful.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, 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.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so choose one that has a strong flavor. Parmesan, cheddar, and Gruyère are all good options.
  • Season the dish to taste: Be sure to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.

Conclusion:

This quick and creamy ham fettuccini is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
