Was just watching TV, when Giada De Laurentiis came on and prepared this lovely looking and tasty dish. This is prepared with easy ingredients and cooks FAST! This is her answer to fast food! Update:07/25/2009 - we made this a couple days ago and we jazzed it up a bit - to begin with it was definitely lacking - so we added crushed red pepper flakes and we used some Parmesan in the food processor with the croutons! Also added more Italian Seasoning.;)

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (16-oz.) jar roasted red peppers, drained, finely chopped (about 1¾ cups)
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup green olives, smashed, pits removed
2 Tbsp. double-concentrated tomato paste
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 (14-oz.) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 lb. rigatoni, penne, or ziti
Kosher salt
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tsp. finely chopped oregano
2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated, divided
1 lb. fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces, divided
Handful torn basil leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add roasted red peppers and salt; season with black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is jammy, 8-10 minutes. Add olives, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until tomato paste is slightly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you go, and their liquid and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
  • While sauce is cooking, place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente (about 2 minute less than package directions; pasta will continue to cook in the oven). Drain pasta, reserving ⅓ cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Add pasta and reserved pasta cooking liquid to sauce. Reduce heat to medium and stir in butter, oregano, and half of Parmesan. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and glossy and coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half of mozzarella.
  • Transfer pasta to a 13x9" baking dish and spread into an even layer. Scatter remaining Parmesan and mozzarella over. Bake until bubbling around the edges, 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat broiler. Broil pasta until top is brown and crisp in spots, about 3 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then top with basil for serving.

RIGATONI WITH RED PEPPER, ALMONDS, AND BREAD CRUMBS



Rigatoni with Red Pepper, Almonds, and Bread Crumbs image

The secret ingredient in this dish is the garlicky croutons. I buy good-quality prepackaged garlic croutons from a local bakery and keep them in my pantry for emergencies (I also have been known to snack on them from time to time). You can certainly make them from scratch, but in this dish, it's fine to substitute store-bought if you have a good source. I love the almondy and garlicky flavor the crumbs give the pasta.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound rigatoni (large, ridged tubular pasta)
3 cups purchased garlic-flavored croutons (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (page 168)
1 cup julienned roasted red bell peppers
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Place the croutons and the almonds in a food processor. Pulse until they are finely chopped, with the texture of bread crumbs. Add the crouton-and-almond mixture to the hot pasta along with the peppers and the olive oil. Toss to combine. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Fresh red peppers and almonds will also make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Toast the almonds and breadcrumbs before adding them to the pasta. This will give them a nice nutty flavor and help them to stay crispy.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce immediately after it has been drained. This will help the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Conclusion:

Rigatoni with Red Pepper, Almonds, and Breadcrumbs is a quick, easy, and flavorful pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, and crispy breadcrumbs. The Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness and creaminess, and the red pepper flakes give the dish a slight kick. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
