Roasted Pepper Halves with Bread Crumb Topping image

Categories     Bread     Pepper     Side     Bake

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil (see below) or extra-virgin olive oil
3 red or yellow bell peppers
Salt
1/2 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup Chicken Stock (page 74) or Vegetable Stock (page 76) or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth or water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Drizzle the bottom of a 13 × 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. (If you're using the infused oil, spoon a few of the garlic pieces into the dish as well.) Cut the peppers in half through the stems. Pull out the cores, stems, and seeds and, using a paring knife, cut out the ribs. Arrange the peppers side by side in the prepared dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the peppers and season them with salt.
  • Stir the bread crumbs, the remaining 3 tablespoons of the oil, the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the thyme, and the crushed red pepper together in a small bowl. Divide the crumb mixture among the peppers, making an even coating over the pepper halves. Pour in the stock and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the peppers are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking until the crumbs are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a serving platter, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley into the juices in the baking pan, then spoon the juices over the peppers. Serve the peppers hot or at room temperature.

RIGATONI WITH RED PEPPER, ALMONDS, AND BREAD CRUMBS



Rigatoni with Red Pepper, Almonds, and Bread Crumbs image

The secret ingredient in this dish is the garlicky croutons. I buy good-quality prepackaged garlic croutons from a local bakery and keep them in my pantry for emergencies (I also have been known to snack on them from time to time). You can certainly make them from scratch, but in this dish, it's fine to substitute store-bought if you have a good source. I love the almondy and garlicky flavor the crumbs give the pasta.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound rigatoni (large, ridged tubular pasta)
3 cups purchased garlic-flavored croutons (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (page 168)
1 cup julienned roasted red bell peppers
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Place the croutons and the almonds in a food processor. Pulse until they are finely chopped, with the texture of bread crumbs. Add the crouton-and-almond mixture to the hot pasta along with the peppers and the olive oil. Toss to combine. Serve.
