PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 large Spanish onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed with a sprinkle of kosher salt and finely chopped to a paste
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
8 ounces penne pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus 3/4 cup, for garnish
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Calabrian red chile flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup fresh ricotta, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan or saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions, garlic and tomatoes with the juice. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the penne and 2 tablespoons salt and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
  • Mash the tomatoes again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin out the sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional pasta water if necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the pan and combine. Cook the pasta in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more grated cheese as the pasta cooks. Add some of the basil and parsley and the chile flakes and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large shallow serving dish and top with freshly grated cheese. Top with the ricotta and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley; serve immediately.

Shrimp and Penne Supper image

Weeknights will be a breeze when you follow Sarah Newman's method for preparing this easy shrimp supper. From Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, she writes, "I saute the garlic and onion in the morning and add the tomatoes. I also stir together the milk, flour and half and half and put both mixtures in the refrigerator. When it's close to dinner time, I just cook the pasta and shrimp and put the few remaining ingredients together, and dinner is served!"

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop the spinach, tomatoes, and basil; devein and clean the shrimp; and grate the Parmesan cheese. This will make the cooking process much smoother and quicker.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the shrimp and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooking the shrimp will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Add the spinach at the end of cooking: Spinach cooks very quickly, so add it to the pan last and stir until it is just wilted.
  • Season to taste: Taste the dish before serving and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes, as desired.

Conclusion:

This penne with spinach, shrimp, tomatoes, and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
