Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
One 15-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
4 large sprigs fresh basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces diced pancetta
10 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 pound dried penne
1 1/2 cups shredded smoked mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil sprigs and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until warm, about 2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the pancetta.
  • Cook the penne in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
  • Add the tomato sauce, smoked mozzarella and half of the Parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.

4 cloves garlic, chopped or thinly sliced
Black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock/poaching liquid from Poached Chicken, recipe follows
10 to 12 artichoke hearts, drained, from two 6-ounce pouches, one 10-ounce box of frozen and defrosted, or one 14-ounce can
Pici, bucatini or penne pasta
Salt
A fat handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 to 2/3 cup freshly grated caciocavallo or Pecorino cheese
One 4-to 5-pound chicken
2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 large fresh bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add the guanciale or bacon and cook until crisp. Add the onion, garlic and a little pepper and stir for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and stir. Add the stock and artichokes and heat through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
  • To serve, bring water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente, reserving 1 cup of the starchy water just before draining. Add the pasta to the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley and half the cheese and cook, tossing to combine and adding some of the starchy pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with more cheese on top.
  • Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns and the herb bundle; season with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a low, rolling simmer. Simmer 60 to 75 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.

PASTA WITH ARTICHOKES



Pasta With Artichokes image

Fresh and good. You can sub the baby artichokes with regular artichokes, but you will need to trim and peel them to eliminate the tough bits, slice them into quarters, and cut out the choke. This recipe comes from a trattoria called La Fontanina di San Pietro on the Tuscan coast, and I found it in Gourmet. The suggested pasta is tagliatelle, but I like it with thin spaghetti.

Time 35m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb baby artichoke (about the size of an egg)
1/2 lemon, juice of
1/2 cup scallion, finely chopped
1/4 cup butter
1 lb ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt
pepper
3/4 lb dry pasta
grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare the artichokes, peel the stems, break off any tough outer leaves, and cut off the tip to remove the spines. Chop them finely as they are done, and drop them in a bowl of water acidulated with the lemon juice.
  • In a large skillet cook the scallion in the butter over low-medium heat, stirring until softened. Drain the artichokes, add them to the skillet, and cook them over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Stir often.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer, covered, for one minute. Turn off the heat.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta al dente.
  • Just before the pasta is done turn on the heat under the sauce to low. Drain the pasta well and add it to the skillet. Toss the pasta and sauce together.
  • Serve the hot pasta with grated parmesan, a piacere (if desired).
