Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound rigatoni
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely diced
Two 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
Two 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella, cut into large cubes
9 tablespoons grated Parmesan
One 1-pound bag mini sweet peppers, stemmed and halved
Peppy Salad, recipe follows

1 red onion, sliced
1 mini red pepper, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions; drain and set aside to cool.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onions are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato paste until everything is mixed together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Top with half of the remaining sauce. Repeat the process with the remaining noodles and mozzarella, 3 tablespoons Parmesan and the remaining peppers and sauce. Top with the remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan. (If making ahead, cover and refrigerate.)
  • Cover and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the peppers are cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Serve with Peppy Salad.

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.

Provided by Kendra Vaculin

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.
