GIADA'S CREAMY BAKED FETTUCCINE WITH ASIAGO AND THYME

Giada's Creamy Baked Fettuccine With Asiago and Thyme image

Saw this on Everyday Italian on the Food Network. Very rich and creamy! Also would be good with spinach added. NOTE If you're on a budget you can switch out the fresh cheese for the Italian Blend shredded cheese which has the Parmesan and Asiago in it and it still turns out great! Also can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge overnight. Just top with the cheese right before baking.

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound medium shell pasta
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for the pasta water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
2 cups heavy cream, at room temperature
2 cups grated mild provolone
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
3 cups broccoli florets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

For the topping: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix together the panko, Parmesan and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with the salt and set aside.
For the pasta: Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 4 minutes, then reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and drain. Set aside.
Place a medium braiser over medium heat. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then add the cream, whisking. Bring the milk mixture to a simmer, whisking often. Whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with the salt. Fold in the blanched pasta, reserved pasta water and the broccoli florets. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and bake in the top third of the oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese will give your dish the best flavor.
Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not too thick that it is difficult to stir.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the flavor of.
Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can also add other ingredients to taste, such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
