PENNE WITH 5 CHEESES ALA BAREFOOT CONTESSA - INA GARTEN
I was watching The Barefoot Contessa earlier this week, and she made this dish. The show was about preparing food ahead of time so that at dinner time, you have very little to do. When I went on the Web to get the recipe, it was nowhere to be found. Luckily, the show was repeated last night, so I was ready, pen in hand. The recipe below is exactly how it was described on the show; it looks delicious and I hope to try it soon. The amount given for the gorgonzola is a guess on my part, as it wasn't specified, nor was the type of cream specified (I'd use regular table cream). She also didn't specify how much basil she used, but it looked like about a quarter-cup. It was mentioned that no salt was needed, as the cheeses are salty enough.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook penne for just 4 minutes (or until barely al dente, as it will cook more in the oven); drain well.
- Meanwhile, in a very large mixing bowl, combine the cream, crushed tomatoes, cheeses and basil.
- On the show, very fresh buffalo mozzarella was used, and it was cut into slices and then slivered (much like a julienne); I'm sure shredded mozzarella would work just fine.
- Add cooked, drained penne to sauce and stir well.
- On the show, individual shallow serving dishes were filled with the pasta; I'm sure this could be done in a shallow casserole dish too, such as a 13x9 pan.
- Either fill individual dishes with pasta, as above, or fill an entire shallow dish, then dot butter over surface in small pieces.
- Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until top is browned.
- On the show, the individual dishes were then refrigerated, uncovered, so that they could be reheated later in the evening; unfortunately, no information was given as to how the dish should be reheated (oven temp, time, etc) so, really, your guess is as good as mine.

Steps:
- Put a large pan of boiling salted water on and bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until very al dente. The dish will be finished in the oven so you dont want the pasta too well cooked. Meanwhile, place the tomatoes on the vine into a roasting pan and drizzle with a little oil and some balsamic vinegar. Season and bake in a moderate oven for 20 mins or until the skins are starting to colour and pucker. Mix the prepared cheeses into a large bowl with the cream. The mixture will seem very thick but this will all melt down in the oven. Season and mix well, but will need more pepper than salt as the cheeses are quite salty, especially the parmesan, tast a little as you go. Once the tomatoes are cooked, remove from the vine and mix into the cheese mix, crushing them a little as you go. Add the drained pasta and mix well. Check for seasoning and place into either small gratin dishes and cook individually or into a large ovenproof dish. Scatter generousely with the breadcrumbs and place into a moderate oven for20-30 mins or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are starting to brown. Serve with a rocket salad and warm ciabatta bread. Great cooked in a large dish and served at the table so people can help themselves.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality cheeses: The better the cheeses you use, the better your pasta will taste. Look for cheeses that are flavorful and have a good melting texture.
- Grate the cheeses fresh: Pre-shredded cheeses contain additives that can prevent them from melting smoothly. Grate your own cheeses fresh for the best results.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the pasta from sticking.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite. This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy when you add the cheese sauce.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The cheese sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to make the pasta.
- Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. The cheese sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Pasta with 5 cheeses is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pasta is cooked perfectly and that the cheese sauce is smooth and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
