PENNE ALLA PANNA



Penne Alla Panna image

This is a very tasty and quick pasta meal. I got the recipe years ago when I was still at school and went home with one of my friends to have dinner at her house. Her family traveled to Tuscany every year and this was their version of a pasta dish they had eaten there. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread. You can use any type of pasta really if you haven't got penne pasta, it's really nice with tortellini as well.

THMV: Penne Alla Panna with Hidden Veg image

Penne Alla Panna has been my number one choice for pasta ever since I was a little girl, even now as an adult if I am feeling naughty I will order it and feel guilty later. I wanted to tackle creating a healthier version for The Healthy Mix V, by relying on predominantly water, chicken stock concentrate, and hidden veg-with a significantly reduced amount of cream. I highly recommend making the chicken stock concentrate ahead of time for this dish, [...]

PENNE A LA CARBONARA

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound pancetta, diced into 1-inch cubes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 pound dried penne
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a large saute pan, until hot. Add pancetta and saute until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and remove pan from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  • In a large pot, boil 6 quarts of salted boiling water. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse with water; you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick. While the pasta is still hot, return it back to the pot. Add the browned pancetta and mix well. Add the cream mixture and coat the pasta completely. It's important to work quickly while the pasta is still warm so that the cream mixture will cook, but not curdle. Add remaining Parmesan and chopped parsley.

1 pound penne pasta
½ pound cooked small shrimp
