Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta
1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 large or 2 small heads broccoli, chopped into small florets
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
One 25-ounce jar marinara sauce
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the topping: Add the ricotta, basil, and salt to a small bowl. Stir together with a rubber spatula. Set aside.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season well with salt and cook the rigatoni for 5 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large braiser or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sausage to the pan. Cook, stirring often and breaking apart the meat with the back of a spoon, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the broccoli and garlic and cook to marry the flavors, about 3 minutes. Stir in the marinara and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully combined. Add the pasta to the pan and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat. Add the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce slightly.
  • Dollop the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the top. Nestle the ricotta mixture into the pasta and cover with some of the pasta. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

RIGATONI AL SEGRETO (RIGATONI WITH SECRET SAUCE)



Rigatoni al Segreto (Rigatoni with Secret Sauce) image

This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded secret at Gino's, one of New York City's most famous Italian restaurants. When it closed, the recipe got out. But I think the amount of butter was way too low. So here's my version.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed (or more to taste)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can San Marzano (Italian) tomatoes, blended smooth
½ cup water (to rinse out can of tomatoes)
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked rigatoni pasta
½ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt. Cook until no longer white and starting to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook about 1 minute. Add chili flakes and blended tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer; adjust heat to medium to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 45 to 60 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes (5 minutes from doneness).
  • Add about 2/3 of the basil to the sauce. Stir in butter. When butter melts, add cheese in 3 increments.
  • Drain pasta; transfer to sauce. Stir until rigatoni are evenly coated with sauce. Serve sprinkled with the remaining basil and a dusting of grated cheese.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/4 c.)
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, preferably without fennel seeds
1 lb assorted mushroom, sliced thin (about 5 cups)
1 cup diced tomato (fresh or canned drained)
1 cup fresh peas or 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted and drained
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese (or packaged whole-milk ricotta cheese)
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; toss in the onion; cook/stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes.
  • Crumble the sausage into the skillet and stir, breaking up the sausage into small pieces as you do, until the sausage is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir about half the mushrooms into the sausage mixture; add the remaining mushrooms as those in the pan wilt, making room for more.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • If the mushrooms give off liquid, allow time for the juices to boil off before the mushrooms start to brown.
  • Pour the tomatoes into the skillet, stir in the peas, and bring to a boil.
  • Decrease heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer; season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook a minute or two.
  • Stir in the stock and bring to a boil; cook until the sauce is lightly reduced and is perking like a little volcano, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the cream and bring to a boil; spoon the ricotta into the sauce and stir gently to mix.
  • If the skillet is large enough to hold the sauce and the pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
  • If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
  • Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring gently to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of grated cheese.
  • Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spoon the rigatoni into warm bowls and serve immediately, passing additional cheese separately if you like.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the sausage, make sure to give it enough space to brown properly.
  • Cook the sauce slowly. Simmering the sauce for a longer period of time will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. Different types of mushrooms will add different flavors and textures to the sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. A generous amount of cheese will make the dish rich and creamy.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Rigatoni in Woodsmans Sauce is best enjoyed when it's hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Rigatoni in Woodsmans Sauce is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
