BAKED ALFREDO PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND LEMON



Baked Alfredo Pasta With Broccoli Rabe and Lemon image

One of the great things about baked pastas is that you can get two different textures in one dish. Take the typical pasta Alfredo that's prepared in a skillet: It's delightfully creamy and lush, but the same, bite after bite. But add a green vegetable to that Alfredo pasta, pile it into a dish, top it with melty cheese and a crunchy bread crumbs, then bake it, and you get a vegetarian dinner that's got it all. If broccoli rabe isn't your thing, you can substitute cut asparagus or broccoli florets.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 cups finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Black pepper
1 pound casarecce, cavatappi or other small tubed or curly pasta
1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 small garlic clove, grated
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Place the butter in a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart pan or baking dish and transfer it to the oven to melt while the oven heats; remove it from the oven once it's melted.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan and the lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter from the baking pan, stir until the panko is moistened with butter, then season with salt and pepper.
  • When the water's boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. During the last minute of cooking, add the broccoli rabe. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli rabe.
  • Whisk the cream, garlic and pasta water into the melted butter in the baking dish until smooth. Add the remaining Parmesan in large handfuls, vigorously whisking until smooth and combined. Add the pasta, broccoli rabe and half the mozzarella. Taste, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until very combined.
  • Top with the remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle evenly with the panko mixture. Bake until the mozzarella has melted and the panko is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with deep green, tender leaves and firm stalks. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowing leaves.
  • Prepare the broccoli rabe properly: Remove the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stalks and chop the leaves and stalks into bite-sized pieces. Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli rabe: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked broccoli rabe will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in this dish. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Add lemon zest and juice to taste: Lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to this dish. Add them to taste, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This linguine with broccoli rabe and lemon is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy pasta dish to make, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
