FIVE INGREDIENT PASTA TOSS

Five Ingredient Pasta Toss image

Pasta is tossed with white beans, roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, and a garlic infused olive oil. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce and any leftover garlic olive oil. This isn't a hot pasta dish so it's perfect for summer.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves, or amount to taste

Steps:

Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Place the pasta, beans, tomatoes, basil, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic olive oil in a large bowl; toss gently until combined. Serve the remaining olive oil at the table to drizzle over individual servings.

COTTAGE CHEESE PASTA WITH TOMATOES, SCALLIONS AND CURRANTS

Cottage Cheese Pasta With Tomatoes, Scallions and Currants image

Satisfying the same creamy urge as mac and cheese, noodles with cottage cheese is a comforting Eastern European staple that's sometimes topped with golden fried onions and a dusting of black pepper and cinnamon. This version trades caramelized onions for slivers of sharp raw scallion to contrast with the richness of the cottage cheese, which melts into a sauce upon contact with the hot pasta. The currants lean into the cinnamon's sweetness, while halved cherry tomatoes and mint make the dish juicy and fresh. It's an unusual take on the original dish that's easy to riff on - feel free to add or leave out ingredients to make it your own.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried currants (or chopped raisins)
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for boiling the pasta
1 pound short pasta, such as farfalle, cavatelli or fusilli
4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 cup whole milk cottage cheese (or ricotta)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1/2 cup torn mint leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
Ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put currants in a small bowl and ladle a little of the boiling water over them to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes, then drain.
Meanwhile, salt the remaining water in the pot. When it returns to a boil, add pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 1 minute less than the package directs. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
In a large serving bowl, combine scallions, tomatoes, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
When the currants are soaked, add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss to combine. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Add pasta to the serving bowl, along with cottage cheese, pepper and a few splashes of reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup), and toss until evenly coated. If pasta looks dry, add a little more pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time. Stir in herbs. Taste, and add more salt and lemon, if needed.
To serve, top with a dusting of ground cinnamon (if you like), flaky salt, a lot of black pepper, and more olive oil and herbs. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

COUNTRYSIDE PASTA SALAD

Countryside Pasta Salad image

I found this recipe on a can of tomatoes. It tastes great right after it is made or even the next day. The addition of bacon adds a nice smokey flavor to this pasta salad. You could easily add some chopped cooked chicken and serve this on a bed of lettuce for a complete lunch.
