COTTAGE CHEESE PASTA WITH TOMATOES, SCALLIONS AND CURRANTS



Cottage Cheese Pasta With Tomatoes, Scallions and Currants image

Satisfying the same creamy urge as mac and cheese, noodles with cottage cheese is a comforting Eastern European staple that's sometimes topped with golden fried onions and a dusting of black pepper and cinnamon. This version trades caramelized onions for slivers of sharp raw scallion to contrast with the richness of the cottage cheese, which melts into a sauce upon contact with the hot pasta. The currants lean into the cinnamon's sweetness, while halved cherry tomatoes and mint make the dish juicy and fresh. It's an unusual take on the original dish that's easy to riff on - feel free to add or leave out ingredients to make it your own.

Categories     weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup dried currants (or chopped raisins)
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for boiling the pasta
1 pound short pasta, such as farfalle, cavatelli or fusilli
4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 cup whole milk cottage cheese (or ricotta)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1/2 cup torn mint leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
Ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put currants in a small bowl and ladle a little of the boiling water over them to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, salt the remaining water in the pot. When it returns to a boil, add pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 1 minute less than the package directs. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine scallions, tomatoes, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • When the currants are soaked, add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss to combine. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Add pasta to the serving bowl, along with cottage cheese, pepper and a few splashes of reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup), and toss until evenly coated. If pasta looks dry, add a little more pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time. Stir in herbs. Taste, and add more salt and lemon, if needed.
  • To serve, top with a dusting of ground cinnamon (if you like), flaky salt, a lot of black pepper, and more olive oil and herbs. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CHEESE AND TOMATO SALAD



Cheese and Tomato Salad image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes (regular or plum)
1 cucumber (about 1/2 pound), peeled, cut in half lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 to 2 onions (about 8 ounces total), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks about 1/2 inch thick by 1 1/2 inches long
1/2 cup shredded basil
1/4 cup chopped chives or parsley
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional), seeded and chopped fine (about 1 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut tomatoes in half crosswise and gently squeeze out seeds. Cut seeded tomatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place chopped onion in a sieve and wash under cold water to remove some of the sulfuric acid compound, which tends to make the onions discolor and is strong-smelling and irritating to the eyes. Drain thoroughly.
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, stirring well. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed. An hour or so before serving, remove from the refrigerator so the salad is cool, not cold, when eaten. Serve with a crunchy French bread.
