BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STEWED TOMATOES



Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Stewed Tomatoes image

Boy, does this bring back memories! When I was in high school, they served this every Friday in the cafeteria. I guess they had to make sure we had our vegetables :) It sounds gross, but I couldn't wait until Fridays, the macaroni and tomatoes were so good together. To this day, almost 20 years later, whenever I have baked macaroni & cheese, I crave stewed tomatoes. With this recipe, I don't have to.

Macaroni With Tomato Sauce, Chard and Goat Cheese image

This tomatoey version of macaroni and cheese is a great way to use greens or other vegetables.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups tomato sauce, made with fresh or canned tomatoes
Salt
1 pound Swiss chard or other greens, stemmed and washed
12 ounces penne rigata
3 ounces soft, mild goat cheese (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 ounces (about 1/3 cup) freshly grated Parmesan
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the chard and pasta. Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. When it's done, transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the goat cheese.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin with olive oil.
  • Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add the Swiss chard. Blanch for one to two minutes, then transfer to the ice water and drain. Squeeze out excess water, and chop fine. Add to the bowl with the tomato sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, you can steam the greens, but you'll need the water for the pasta in any case.)
  • Bring the water back to a boil, and add the pasta. Cook the pasta for a minute less than the instructions on the package indicate. It should still be a little underdone, as it will finish cooking in the oven. Drain, and transfer to the bowl with the tomato sauce and chard. Add 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, and stir together until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top, and drizzle on the olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the top just beginning to color, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH



Southern Tomato Sandwich image

Tastes like summer! Room temperature tomatoes are key here and once the salt and pepper hit them, the juices start flowing. When the juicy tomatoes blend in with the mayonnaise, it makes a delicious, creamy, slightly tangy, and flavorful sauce. The bread becomes slightly soggy, in the best way possible. The last bite is even better than the first!

TOMATOEY MACARONI AND CHEESE



Tomatoey Macaroni and Cheese image

This recipe is from Cooks Country. The dish is a creamy and cheesy as ordinary mac and cheese, but it turns a beautiful rosy color. The acidic tomatoes keep the rich sauce in check. This dish brings to mind a favorite lunch from our childhood: tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor. Sharp cheddar and Parmesan are classic choices, but you can also try Gouda, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack.
  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but drain it a minute or two before it's fully cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it's baked in the cheese sauce.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough to coat the macaroni. If it's too thin, it will make the macaroni and cheese runny.
  • Bake the macaroni and cheese until it's golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately, while it's hot and bubbly.
