BAKED PENNE WITH SQUASH AND GOAT CHEESE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 shallots, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for the pasta water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
8 ounces goat cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
One 10-ounce delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeds discarded and sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 pound penne rigate pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • For the topping: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the panko, olive oil and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the pasta: Heat a large ovenproof braiser over medium heat. Melt the butter in the braiser and add the shallots, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour and stir to cook out some of the raw flour taste, about 2 minutes. Slowly begin to add the milk, adding a small amount at a time and whisking after each addition, until smooth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the goat cheese, 1 cup mozzarella and the squash. Season with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season well with salt. Cook the pasta for about 6 minutes (it should still be very firm). Using a pasta spider, remove the pasta directly to the sauce but do not yet stir it in. Sprinkle the plain pasta with the Parmesan and stir to combine. Add the broccoli rabe to the pasta water and cook for 30 seconds. Use the pasta spider to drain well, then add to the pasta. Stir to evenly distribute. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and the panko mixture. Bake until bubbly all over, 20 to 25 minutes. Switch to the broiler and broil for 5 minutes to brown the top, if desired.

SQUASH FAJITAS WITH GOAT CHEESE



Squash Fajitas with Goat Cheese image

When we visit New Mexico, we always try new and exciting cuisine. The last time we were there, I tried a couple of traditional foods with new twists, like pumpkin tamales and goat cheese enchiladas. With an abundance of squash and onions coming out of the garden, I wanted to create a new and healthy fajita. This is a great meatless dish. -Debra Keil, Owasso, Oklahoma

CRISP ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE



Crisp Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed With Goat Cheese image

Zucchini blossoms are a thing of wonder. They are great raw, in a salad, with a drizzle of good olive oil, but when they are coated in a crisp batter and stuffed with a light filling, they are an otherworldly experience. To get a good batter that isn't too thick or oily, ensure that your sparkling or soda water is very well carbonated and ice cold. Also take your time with the oil, testing it a few times to get the perfect temperature. Adjust the temperature as you go, making sure the flowers don't color too quickly.

Time 35m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon ground sumac
Boiling water
1/4 cup/50 grams ricotta
3 tablespoons/50 grams soft goat cheese
1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano leaves
2 tablespoons/10 grams chopped walnuts
1 lemon, finely grated to get 1 tablespoon zest, then cut into wedges
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
8 zucchini blossoms
About 1 1/2 cups/350 milliliters sunflower oil, for frying
Scant 1/2 cup/60 grams all-purpose flour (plain flour)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/100 milliliters ice-cold sparkling or soda water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cover 3/4 tablespoon of the sumac with 1 tablespoon of boiling water and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Add both types of cheese, oregano, walnuts, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of pepper. Mix well.
  • Fill the flowers by carefully opening them and either spooning or piping about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture into each, gently pushing the filling all the way to the bottom of each blossom but being careful not to fill them too much; if you can get someone to hold the flower open for you, it would make it much easier. Gently twist the tips of the petals to secure the filling inside and set aside until you're ready to fry.
  • Pour enough oil into a medium (about 8-inch/20-centimeter) nonstick frying pan so that the oil rises about 1 inch/2 centimeters up the sides of the pan. Place on a high heat for 5 minutes and then turn the heat down a fraction.
  • Meanwhile, mix the flour and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the sparkling water, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
  • When bubbles start to surface in the oil, test it by dropping some batter into the oil: if it sizzles, you are ready. (The oil should hover between 320 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit/160 and 180 degrees Celsius.)
  • Lower a zucchini blossom into the batter, turning to coat completely, before carefully placing in the hot oil. Repeat, cooking a few blossoms at a time, adjusting the temperature between batches so they take about 30 seconds on each side to turn a golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and then sprinkle with salt and the remaining 1/4 tablespoon sumac. Serve at once with the lemon wedges alongside.

PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Zucchini and Goat Cheese image

Knowing that one can never have too many zucchini recipes, I wrote this down on a piece of scrap paper in the waiting room at a doctor's office. It's super tasty and simple, perfect for a weeknight. The goat cheese makes a creamy sauce for the linguine, and complements the flavor of the sauteed squash nicely. In addition to the lemon zest, I recommend adding some thinly sliced fresh basil when serving. From Real Simple (June 08).

Categories     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 zucchini or yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 ten-and-a-half-ounce log goat cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 sourdough rolls or semolina raisin rolls
1/2 cup Olive Tapenade (optional)

  • Cut the squash and zucchini into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to cut the squash and zucchini.
