Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound paccheri pasta
48 ounces ricotta
1 cup store-bought pesto
4 cups fontina cheese, shredded
One 15-ounce jar store-bought alfredo sauce
Fresh basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the paccheri for 1 minute less than the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Rinse the pasta thoroughly with cold water after draining.
  • Combine the ricotta with 1/2 cup of the pesto and 2 cups of fontina, then mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a piping bag or resealable bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into each paccheri. (This doesn't need to be perfect. If a paccheri is very torn or broken, do not use.) Stand each filled paccheri upright in a 10-inch springform pan until it is packed tightly.
  • Thin the alfredo sauce with the reserved pasta water in a bowl, then pour it into the pan over the filled paccheri, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups fontina cheese.
  • Bake until the mixture is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the rest of the pesto and garnish with the fresh basil. Remove the springform side, then slice and serve.

The pasta was a little overcooked, but the cheese filling was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the pasta for a shorter amount of time.

This pasta dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if there had been less cheese.

The cheesy stuffed pasta was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese or added some more spices.
