Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large head of broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut into small florets
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 lb rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for pan
1 lb italian-style turkey sausage, with fennel (removed from casing if uncooked or thinly sliced if precooked)
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained (1 can cannellini beans can be used)
2/3 lb skim mozzarella cheese, grated, 1/4 cup reserved
3/4 cup skim milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, finely grated, 1/4 cup reserved
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-x-13-inch gratin or baking dish.
  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, broccoli and garlic. Simmer the broccoli and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened. With a slotted spoon remove the broccoli and garlic to a large bowl. Bring the water back to the boil, add the pasta, and cook the pasta for about 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest, about 11 minutes. The pasta should be al dente, a little firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add sausage and the garlic cloves from the broccoli bowl, and cook, stirring frequently until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes, if using fresh sausage. (If using fully cooked sausage, cook until surface is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.) With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to the broccoli, and drain most of the oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Discard the garlic.
  • Toss drained pasta with sausage mixture. Add beans, stock, 3/4 cup of grated mozzarella cheese and all of the ricotta. Add remaining salt and pepper. Gently toss. Transfer to prepared gratin or baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • If making this in advance, allow the mixture to come to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, until heated through and crusty on top.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
7 slices bacon
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup riced broccoli

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside. Drain cooked pasta and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons bacon grease in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot grease for 2 to 3 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter; continue cooking until sauce becomes thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in gouda cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix pasta into the cream sauce. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl in a microwave for 20 seconds. Mix in panko bread crumbs and riced broccoli; stir very well to coat in butter. Spread mixture on top of pasta.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
