Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt
3/4 pound rigatoni, or other short tubular pasta
2 pounds plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomatoes, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until tender and just beginning to take on color, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in red-pepper flakes.
  • Stir garlic mixture into reserved tomato mixture. Add parsley, oregano, mozzarella, and pasta; toss.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot: Rigatoni is a large pasta, so you'll need a large pot to cook it in. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Salt the water: When you're boiling the pasta, be sure to salt the water. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from tasting bland.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Rigatoni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The great thing about stuffed rigatoni is that you can use a variety of fillings. This is a great way to use up leftovers or to create a new and exciting dish. Some popular fillings include ricotta cheese, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Be creative with your sauce: You can use a variety of sauces with stuffed rigatoni. A simple tomato sauce is always a good choice, but you can also try a pesto sauce, a cream sauce, or even a vodka sauce.

Conclusion:

Stuffed rigatoni is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftovers or to create a new and exciting meal. With a little creativity, you can create a stuffed rigatoni dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
