Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe (1 to 2 bunches)
1 pound large pasta shells, such as Barilla
Good olive oil
1/2 pound pancetta, 1/4-inch diced (see Cook's Note)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 to 10 ounces fresh ricotta, store-bought or homemade
Freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large (11 by 5 1/2-inch) pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccoli rabe and slice the rest crosswise in 2-inch pieces. When the water boils, cook the broccoli rabe for 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. With a wire skimmer or tongs, lift the broccoli rabe (don't drain the pot!) into a large bowl and set aside. Bring the water back to a boil, add the shells, and cook al dente according to the directions on the package. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, drain the pasta, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the pancetta, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is browned. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the broccoli rabe and red pepper flakes and toss well. Add the cooked shells, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and toss. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until all the ingredients are heated through, adding enough of the reserved cooking water so the pasta isn't dry. Serve hot in large shallow bowls with a large dollop of ricotta and drizzled with olive oil, and with grated Parmesan on the side.

Baked Broccoli-and-Artichoke Shells image

When it comes to pairing up with artichokes, why should spinach get to have all of the fun? In this weeknight-friendly pasta bake, broccoli is the green machine responsible for adding that extra boost of vitamin C and fiber. But truth be told, it's the creamy cheddar cheese sauce and smoky bacon folded in before baking that makes this dish an all-around crowd-pleaser.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces medium pasta shells
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 ounces broccoli, stalks peeled and sliced, florets separated
1/2 cup panko
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup grated sharp white cheddar
1 can (14 ounces) quartered artichoke hearts, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water 4 minutes. Add broccoli and cook 2 minutes more; drain. Combine panko and 2 tablespoons Parmigiano.
  • In a saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Add butter to pan; melt. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer; cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining Parmigiano, cheddar, artichokes, broccoli, pasta, and bacon; season to taste.
  • Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with panko mixture. Bake until golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta so that it has plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Add salt to the pasta water to help flavor the pasta.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce.
  • Stir to combine and cook until the pasta is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
