Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Olive oil, for greasing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces jumbo pasta shells (20 to 24)
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
One 15-ounce tub whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 to 4 large leaves fresh basil, chiffonade, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 1/2 cups Vodka Sauce, recipe follows, or your favorite jarred sauce, warmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vodka
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Pasta cooking water, for adjusting sauce consistency
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the oil and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and set aside for making the Vodka Sauce. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well. Arrange the pasta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a food processor, add the mushrooms and shallot and pulse until chopped into about 1/8-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the spinach to the skillet and cover to allow the spinach to wilt, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, pine nuts, basil chiffonade, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine the cheese mixture with the mushroom mixture. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the filling.
  • In the skillet where the mushrooms were cooked, add about 1 cup Vodka Sauce and spread it in an even layer. Arrange the stuffed shells in a circular pattern. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups sauce, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella in between and on top of the shells (leaving the tops of the shells mostly exposed). Cover and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with more Parmesan and basil leaves, and serve.
  • In a large skillet over low heat, add the butter, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, cream, vodka, tomato paste, 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, adding more reserved pasta water as needed.

SPINACH ALFREDO PASTA BAKE



Spinach Alfredo Pasta Bake image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound short pasta, such as penne or gemelli
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
7 tablespoons butter
One 10-ounce container mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce bag fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine or low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup heavy cream
Low-sodium vegetable broth, as needed, for thinning
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, draining it about 2 minutes before the time on the package. It should still be a bit firm. Rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  • Mix the ricotta with the parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have given up their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted. Remove the vegetables and set aside, leaving any liquid in the skillet.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Pour in the wine and let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and cream, season with salt and pepper and cook, whisking, until it's all combined. If it gets too thick as it cooks, you can thin it with a little vegetable broth. When the sauce looks good, remove it from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • In the buttered baking dish, stir together the pasta, vegetables and sauce. (Add a splash of broth if needed). Add spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, pushing them a bit into the pasta. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until the top is brown and the mixture is bubbling, about 20 minutes more.
