BAKED PENNE WITH GREEN CHILES



Baked Penne with Green Chiles image

This baked pasta dish is the result of playing around in the kitchen one day and merging two beloved cheesy dishes: chiles rellenos and pasta al forno. It's creamy with some heat and tang, but nothing overwhelming.

Provided by Kathy Brennan

Categories     Dinner     Pasta     Cheese     Chile Pepper     Cheddar     Bake     Milk/Cream     Small Plates     Kid-Friendly

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
One 15-ounce (425-g) can crushed tomatoes
One 4-ounce (115-g) can diced green chiles, drained
2 cups (230 g) shredded sharp Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
1 pound (455 g) penne or ziti
1 cup (100 g) freshly grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C), with a rack in the middle position. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a 13 by 9-inch (33 by 23-cm) baking dish, stir together the milk, cream, tomatoes, chiles, Cheddar, and mustard. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper, then set the tomato mixture aside.
  • When the water boils, season it generously with salt; it should taste like seawater. When it returns to a boil, add the pasta, quickly stir to separate the noodles, then cover the pot. When the water returns to a boil again, uncover and boil the pasta until very al dente, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the pasta thoroughly, then pour the noodles on top of the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Gently "shake" the dish to distribute the ingredients, then top evenly with the Pecorino.*
  • Bake until bubbling and lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  • Make Ahead
  • Prepare to * without preheating the oven, then keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) until hot, about 30 to 60 minutes (if frozen), uncovering for the last 10 minutes or so.
  • Staggered
  • Serve hot or warm. It will keep, loosely covered, in a 200°F (90°C) oven for up to 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta bake, such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and spinach. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish.
  • If you don't have cooked chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or canned chicken. Shred the chicken before adding it to the pasta bake.
  • Use a creamy sauce, such as a white sauce or Alfredo sauce, to make the pasta bake rich and flavorful.
  • Top the pasta bake with cheese before baking it. This will create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the pasta bake with a side salad or bread.
