PENNE WITH ROASTED PEPPER MARINARA SAUCE



Penne With Roasted Pepper Marinara Sauce image

This is a nice recipe for when you are in the mood for marinara, yet want something a little different. This does make a lot of sauce - we like that, but if you don't you might want to add more pasta. When I made this I used whole wheat rontini instead of penne, and I increased the red pepper flakes.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes     Pasta Sauce Recipes     Creamy

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces pancetta bacon, diced
1 small sprig fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup vodka
½ cup heavy whipping cream
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 cups prepared marinara sauce
¾ cup water
1 (14.5 ounce) package multigrain penne pasta (such as Barilla®)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bacon and rosemary sprig with olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until bacon renders its fat but is not crisp, about 5 minutes. Pour vodka into the skillet, standing back to avoid any flare-ups. Raise heat to high and continue to cook until the vodka reduces to about 2 tablespoons.
  • Pour heavy cream into skillet, stir briefly, and add black pepper; bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until sauce has slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix marinara sauce and water into cream mixture and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and simmer sauce 20 to 25 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still chewy, about 10 minutes; drain and return to pot. Pour sauce over penne and stir to combine. Turn off heat, cover pot with a lid, and let stand 5 minutes for pasta to absorb sauce. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the marinara sauce, start by sautéing finely chopped garlic and onions in olive oil until softened. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a richer flavor, use a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes.
  • For the penne, cook it according to the package instructions in salted boiling water. Make sure to not overcook the pasta, as it should be cooked al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • To assemble the dish, simply toss the cooked penne with the marinara sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add some chopped fresh basil or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Serve the penne with marinara sauce immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. It pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
