2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
1 pound penne lisce pasta (smooth-sided penne)
1 red onion, minced
8 ounces organic ground sirloin
4 cups San Marzano tomatoes, hand crushed
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmigianno

Steps:

  • For the bolognese: Heat the oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili flakes, and fry until golden, about 1 minute. Add the onions and saute until the edges are crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Throw in the sirloin and saute for 5 minutes until the beef is crumbled. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, fresh parsley, oregano, raw sugar, bay leaf, sea salt and some pepper. Stir and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • For the pasta: Bring salted water to a boil. Throw in the pasta and cook until almost al dente, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain. To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 15-by-10-inch baking dish, 2-to-3-inches deep, with the butter. In a bowl, mix the pasta with half the bolognese sauce. Lay down a thin layer of pasta, 1/4 cup sauce, 1/3 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmigianno. Repeat until all the pasta is used. Top off with mozzarella. Place in the oven and bake until the edges are golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

PENNE AL FORNO ALLA VODKA



Penne Al Forno Alla Vodka image

Easy to make baked penne pasta with a tomato-alfredo vodka sauce. For fresher taste, use 2 diced Roma tomatoes instead of the canned tomatoes. As for the vodka, don't use anything too dramatic. My favorites are plain Absolut, absolut peppar, absolut citron, and the lemon smirnoff. If the vodka is flavored, only use 1 1/2 shots instead of two. Sometimes I add shrimp to add some protein to the dish, and this is how to do so: About an hour before starting the dish, coat your shrimp with olive oil. Grind black pepper over the top and drizzle lemon juice over the top. Put the shrimp in a bag and add a small amount more of all those ingredients plus a dash of balsamic vinegar and a good season of basil. Marinate for at least 30 mins, then broil for 4 minutes, turn over, another 4 minutes. Keep warm in a toaster oven until pasta is baked and add shrimp to the finished dish.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 Pasta bake, 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

15 ounces dry penne pasta
5 tablespoons olive oil (at LEAST five tbsp.)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
red onion
black pepper
basil
1/2 pint half-and-half cream
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
5 -8 ounces parmesan cheese
2 ounces vodka (I prefer Absolut Peppar, and 2oz is about 2 shots.)
water
oregano (optional)
lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Mince desired amount of onion (I prefer about 3 slices).
  • Sauté onion in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a saucepan. Add balsamic vinegar and desired amount of pepper and basil to the olive oil before cooking the onion.
  • After cooking for about 2-4 minutes, pour the half and half on top and simmer for about 7 minutes.
  • Add desired amount of canned tomatoes, but be sure to pour in all of the tomato juice. (I use 3/4s of a can) Mix well and simmer for another 7 minutes.
  • SLOWLY add 5 oz of parmesan cheese: Add 2 spoons full, stir until mixed, repeat until you have enough cheese to cover the top of your pasta dish.
  • After cheese is mixed and melted throughout, remove the sauce from heat.
  • Add the vodka to the sauce right before you begin the next step. You want the sauce to be somewhat cool to keep the alcohol from burning out, as you want this to happen while baking the dish.
  • In a dish big enough to hold all the pasta (mine is around 12x6x3 in), drizzle olive oil on the bottom until the dish is lightly covered. Add a THIN layer of DRY pasta and SPOON a layer of sauce on top. For every three spoons of sauce, add one spoon of water. when the first layer is covered, add another THIN layer of pasta and repeat until running out of sauce. DO NOT SKIP THE WATER.
  • When all sauce is used, the dish should be about 3/4ths full of pasta. If all of the pasta is not submerged in the sauce/water mix, add water until it is.
  • Drizzle Lemon juice and sprinkle oregano over the top (optional).
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • After cooking for 30 minutes, take a fork and dig to the middle and try piece of pasta, if moderatly chewy, top the dish with the rest of your Parmesan and bake for another 5-10 minutes. If if the pasta is still starchy, bake for another 5-10 minutes, then add the cheese, and bake again 10 minutes.
  • Let sit out for at least 5 minutes to cool and finalize the pasta.

Provided by MKK

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 red onions, finely chopped
½ pound ground beef, or more to taste
½ pound bacon, chopped
¼ cup white wine, or as needed
2 (26 ounce) packages chopped tomatoes (such as Pomi®)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
4 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
salt to taste
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta (such as Barilla®)
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
⅓ pound chopped provolone cheese
⅓ pound chopped mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook slowly until moisture has evaporated but onions are not dark brown, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and bacon. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour wine into the skillet and cook until evaporated, 1 to 3 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Fill tomato paste can with water and pour in. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook sauce, uncovered, until oil no longer appears on the surface, about 30 minutes. Add sugar and salt; cook and stir until dissolved, about 3 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta at a boil for about 5 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water. Return pasta to the pot and add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • Add about 1 cup sauce and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to the pot with the cooked pasta.
  • Spoon a thin layer of pasta into each prepared baking dish. Top each with a thin layer of provolone and mozzarella cheeses. Add sauce. Repeat layers with remaining pasta, cheeses, and sauce; finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and melted, 30 to 45 minutes.

PENNE PORTABELLA (COPYCAT OF PASTA POMODORO'S DISH)



Penne Portabella (Copycat of Pasta Pomodoro's Dish) image

I saw one of the owners of Pasta Pomodoro make this on a local tv show. The measurements are approximate as he only demonstrated the ingredients used, no measurements. But this dish is easy and pretty hard to mess up. Mine tasted just as good as the one from the restaurant (I just tried this dish about a couple of weeks ago). A couple of pointers to make it tasty: Be sure to salt your water for pasta, this gives your pasta some flavor. After adding the pasta to the sauce, cook it for a minute of two so the pasta soaks up the sauce. After this step, you can taste and adjust flavor, adding parmesan cheese to give it more flavor (optional). Note: I actually didn't use the entire package of porchini mushrooms, only a little more than 1/2 of the package because it's expensive, also I used baby spinach instead of arugula because my kids do not appreciate the "bite" of the arugula.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large portabella mushroom, sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 lb mild Italian sausage
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup cream
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 lb cooked penne or 1 lb bow tie pasta

2 -3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak the dried porchini mushrooms in the hot water (about 10 minutes), then squeeze the liquid out of the mushrooms and chop it up. Be sure to reserve the tasty soaking water for the sauce!
  • Prepare the sausage according to package directions (cooked throughly and browned), drain.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions as well, however, minus one to two minutes to finsh "cooking" in the sauce. Meanwhile start the sauce:.
  • Heat up a large pan (large enough to fit the pasta in), add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, sautee garlic just until fragrant, add in cooked sausage, portobello mushrooms and porchini mushrooms, and (first add 1/4 cup) of the reserved porchini soaking water as well as the wine. Let this cook for a few minutes. If the portobello mushroom is still dry, add more of the reserved soaking water (add all if possible), cook until the portobello is browned and tender.
  • Add cream and heat through, stirring to incorporate the flavors together. Next add the cooked pasta and arugula or spinach leaves, cook for a minute or two to let the pasta soak up the sauce and wilt the arugula or spinach.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding parmesan cheese then salt and pepper if desired.
