Bruschetta Pasta image

My family and I love bruschetta. This pasta dish is a twist on the traditional bruschetta appetizer. We like to use rigatoni or shell pasta. Serve with grilled chicken.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) box rigatoni pasta
½ small red onion
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium tomatoes, cored
½ teaspoon dried oregano, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking, puree onion and garlic in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Heat oil and butter in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; simmer until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Puree tomatoes in the food processor. Add tomatoes to the onion mixture; simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add cooked rigatoni and Parmesan cheese; mix well.
  • Remove from heat. Toss in mozzarella cheese and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
