Garlic and Herb Penne Pasta image

Quick, Easy, Delicious Pasta Dinner Ready in 20 Minutes! Loaded with Garlic, Tomato and Cheese!

Provided by Julie Evink

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups penne pasta (uncooked)
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium onion (chopped)
1 small tomato (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups milk
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning (I like to use a fresh mix of oregano, parsley, basil)
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta as per instructions on the box in a large pot of salty water. Drain pasta.
  • While pasta is boiling, heat olive oil, and add in onion, and tomato and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent.
  • Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and lower heat to medium low, mixing together for 3 minutes.
  • Add the flour, stir into the ingredients, and cook for one minute. Stir in the milk, whisking will stirring in so it doesn't clump, and the Italian seasonings and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and stir occasionally for about 3-4 more minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken. If it's too thick, add more milk. If it isn't thick enough, add a little bit more flour.
  • Add the hot, drained pasta and the mozzarella cheese and stir until it's all mixed together.
  • Remove from the heat so that it doesn't become too thick, and serve. Enjoy!

MARCELLA HAZAN'S PASTA WITH FOUR HERBS



Marcella Hazan's Pasta With Four Herbs image

This easy weeknight recipe from Marcella Hazan is pasta the way it is meant to be, and it can be prepared with items already in your pantry or easily procured at your farmers' market, corner deli or backyard garden. Fresh mint, sage, rosemary and parsley are tossed with chopped, ripe tomatoes and tossed with sizzling hot olive oil. The best part is it can be thrown together in about 20 minutes.

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
3 medium-sized, very ripe red tomatoes
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound penne
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and when water has returned to a boil, add the penne, stirring with a long- handled wooden fork or spoon to distribute the pasta evenly.
  • While the pasta is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe. Chop the fresh herbs together briefly and place in a deep bowl in which you will serve the pasta.
  • Seed the tomatoes and cut them into small cubes. Add to the herbs in the bowl and mix together gently but thoroughly. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary or desired.
  • This step must proceed very quickly, so be sure your timing is right. Heat the olive oil over a medium high flame until it is very hot. When it begins to smoke, pour all at once over the vegetables in the bowl. Drain the cooked pasta and add it immediately to the oil and sizzling vegetables. Mix well. Serve immediately.

Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

500 g penne pasta
8 -10 cups water, to soak the pasta and then boil it
3 dashes salt
1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary
3 fresh basil leaves, washed and torn
1 1/2 teaspoons pizza seasoning
2 teaspoons oregano
2 -3 medium onions, washed, peeled and sliced
2 tomatoes, washed, peeled and finely chopped
4 -5 garlic cloves, washed and finely chopped
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive pomace oil

Steps:

  • Soak the penne pasta in plenty of water in a large and flat bottomed dish.
  • In the meantime, prepare the masala mixture for the pasta.
  • To do so, take a wide bottom pan or skillet.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in it.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the garlic cloves (finely chopped) and the sliced onions.
  • Mix well and cook on low-medium heat for 7-10 minutes or until the onions turn translucent.
  • In the meantime once the pasta has been soaked for around 10-15 minutes, drain out all the water and replenish with about 10 cups of fresh water. All the pasta should be soaked in the water, so if you put more water then that is fine.
  • Add 2 tbsps of oil and 3 dashes of salt to the pasta.
  • Now, to the masala mixture, please add the herbs, that is, the oregano, rosemary, fresh basil leaves and the pizza seasoning.alongwith salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Allow the pasta to cook on medium flame for about 10 minutes, stirring about every 5 minutes, till the pasta is cooked completely (It should be soft in the middle and this is called al dente). Drain out the water completely. Rinse the cooked pasta under running tap water (preferably cold temperature).
  • Fold in the tomatoes(finely chopped) and mix thoroughly.
  • Stir in about 1 cup of water. Allow to cook on low flame until all of the mixture becomes like one combined well cooked mixture in appearance.
  • Add the drained pasta to the masala mixture and mix thoroughly from bottom to top, ensuring that all the pasta is well coated with the masala mixture.
  • Serve hot and relish it to the last bite!

PARMESAN-HERB TWISTS



Parmesan-Herb Twists image

These cheesy herb twists are rustic yet elegant.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 28 twists

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg white
1 teaspoon milk
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In food processor, pulse flour, salt, pepper, and herbs. Add oil, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, add 1/4 cup cold water; process until dough comes together.
  • Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; divide into 2 equal parts. In small bowl, whisk together egg white and milk; set aside. Roll out dough into a 7-by-9-inch sheet, 1/8 of an inch thick. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle generously with cheese.
  • Cut dough into 1/2-inch strips. Twist each strip; pull until 16 to 18 inches long. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until dough just begins to brown and feels firm to the touch. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store in airtight plastic container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Penne is a good choice for this recipe because it has a large surface area that can hold the sauce well. However, you can use any type of pasta that you like.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your pasta dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add other ingredients that you like. Some good options include grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This penne pasta with a dash of herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh herbs, garlic, and Parmesan cheese gives the pasta a flavorful and aromatic taste. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
