PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA



Pasta With Fresh Tomato Sauce and Ricotta image

This wonderful pasta is made with nothing more than fresh tomato sauce and good ricotta, plus a little pecorino. It's most delicious if you keep the pasta quite al dente; use just enough sauce, no more; give it a good pinch of crushed red pepper; and season it with enough salt of course.

AGNOLOTTI WITH SAUSAGE AND RICOTTA FILLING AND BURST CHERRY TOMATO & PANCETTA SAUCE



Agnolotti with Sausage and Ricotta Filling and Burst Cherry Tomato & Pancetta Sauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 large eggs
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 yellow onion, diced
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
8 ounces mild Italian sausage
6 sage leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
3 ounces diced pancetta
2 cups multi-colored cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 cup chicken stock
10 basil leaves, half left whole and the other half sliced into a chiffonade
1/4 cup semolina flour, for dusting
Nice extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing

Steps:

  • Put the flour onto a clean dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack 5 eggs into the hole and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil and salt. Using the fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together to a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading. When kneading, it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not to tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun! When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let it rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, a pinch of crushed red pepper and kosher salt to taste. Saute the onion until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes or until the sausage is browned. Add the sage and stir to combine, then deglaze the pan with the white wine and reduce until the wine has cooked off, 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool down slightly.
  • Add the ricotta, 1 cup of Parmesan and the remaining egg into a large bowl. Mix well to combine. Add the sausage mixture into the ricotta and mix to combine. Scoop the ricotta and sausage mixture into a pastry bag and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large saute pan and turn on the heat to low. Add the pancetta and gently cook to slowly render the fat, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is crispy and most of the fat has rendered out, 10 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup of chicken stock, a pinch of crushed red pepper and kosher salt to taste. Cook on a gentle simmer until the cherry tomatoes have softened and burst and the sauce has reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and continue to cook until the sauce has slightly thickened, another 5 or so minutes.
  • Unwrap the pasta dough and cut off one third, keeping the larger piece covered. Using your hands, flatten the dough and sprinkle it with a little flour. Pass the dough through the pasta roller on the widest setting (mine is #1), then fold each end towards the center in thirds, like an envelope. Dust with more flour, then pass through the machine again. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times, folding the dough and flouring each time. Decrease the width to #2 and pass through the machine. Fold again and dust with flour. Continue to #3 and repeat, just folding and flouring once until you've reached #5. Lay the pasta sheet onto your board and arrange some basil leaves on one half of the sheet. Fold the dough in half to cover the basil leaves, dust with more flour, then pass through the machine one more time on the thinnest setting (mine is #6), so the basil leaves become part of the pasta dough sheet. Set aside and cover. Repeat with the remaining dough and basil leaves.
  • Place the sheets of dough onto a floured surface. Lightly brush the lower half of each strip (the part closest to you) with water. Snip the corner off the pastry bag. Pipe 1-inch mounds of filling, 1 inch apart, onto the middle to lower half of each strip. Fold the dough over the filling to meet the bottom edge that's brushed with water. Press around each ball of filling with your index fingers, making sure there are no air bubbles. Cut out the agnolotti using a fluted pasta wheel. Transfer to a baking sheet dusted with semolina.
  • Set up a large pot of boiling water and generously season with kosher salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Add the agnolotti and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked agnolotti directly from the boiling water into the sauce along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Toss to combine until the pasta is nicely coated. Add 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, most of the sliced basil (leave a bit for garnish) and a big fat drizzle of nice extra-virgin olive oil and toss to combine.
  • Plate, then garnish with more Parmesan and sliced basil.

Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ½ pounds Roma tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
19 ounces ground hot Italian sausage
½ sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss tomatoes, 4 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Place tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until soft and juicy, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt, sugar, Italian seasoning, rosemary, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes evenly over the tomatoes. Drizzle tops of tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Return baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook sausage and onion until sausage is no longer pink and onion softens, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Transfer roasted tomatoes and any juices to a food processor. Process to desired consistency. Add ricotta and Parmesan cheeses and pulse to combine. Pour tomato sauce into a bowl; mix in sausage-onion mixture.

Tips:

  • When choosing tomatoes for the sauce, opt for ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice due to their low water content and concentrated flavor.
  • To enhance the flavor of the sauce, roast the tomatoes before adding them to the pan. Roasting intensifies their sweetness and smokiness.
  • Use a large skillet or pot to cook the sauce. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure that the tomatoes cook evenly.
  • Season the sauce generously with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker and more flavorful it will become.
  • For a creamier sauce, stir in some ricotta cheese just before serving. You can also add a handful of freshly chopped basil for a pop of freshness.
  • Broken noodle with tomato sauce and ricotta is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Broken noodle with tomato sauce and ricotta is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
