    ➖ Recipe ➖
    Ingredients -
    400g (14oz) - Rigatoni
    1 Tbsp (20ml) - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    5 - Garlic Cloves, Crushed & Chopped
    Pinch of Chilli Flakes (Optional)
    250g (8.8oz) - Cherry Tomatoes, Halved Lengthways
    1/3 Cup (80ml) - White Wine or Vegetable Stock
    Parmigiano Reggiano To Taste
    Pasta Water To Adjust Consistency If Needed
    Salt & Pepper
    Basil Pesto -
    5g (0.2oz) - Pine Nuts, Toasted (Use alternative nuts to cut cost)
    10g (0.5oz) - Parmigiano Reggiano, Freshly Grated
    1-2 - Garlic Clove
    2 Cups (40g - 1.4oz) - Basil, Picked
    3 Tbsp (60ml) - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1/2 - Lemon, Juiced
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil To Adjust Consistency
    Salt & Pepper
    Garnish -
    Parmigiana Reggiano, Freshly Grated
    Chilli Flakes (Optional)
    Cracked Black Pepper
    Picked Basil Leaves
    Method -
    1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions. Drain and reserve at least 2 cups (500ml) of pasta water.
    2. Place the pine nuts and garlic in a mortar and use a pestle to crush them until rough and broken down into a paste. Add the basil leaves and continue pounding. Add the Parmigiano Reggiano, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Continue using the pestle until the pesto has formed a paste. Adjust the consistency with extra virgin olive oil until it resembles a thick but easily pourable paste. Adjust the seasoning and set aside.
    3. In a pan over medium heat, add extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and chilli flakes (optional). Sauté for 2 minutes, mixing regularly, until lightly golden and fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and continue cooking until they start to soften. Over medium heat, this will take 6-8 minutes. Season to taste.
    4. Increase the heat to medium-high and deglaze the pan with white wine or vegetable stock. Allow it to simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until reduced by 1/3.
    5. Add the cooked and drained pasta, Parmigiano Reggiano to taste (I use a lot), and basil pesto. Mix everything well until combined, and adjust the sauce's consistency with the reserved pasta water. Cook for 2 minutes; check the seasoning and remove it from the heat.
    6. Serve in bowls. Garnish with more Parmigiano Reggiano, chilli flakes (optional), picked basil leaves, and cracked black pepper. Dig in.
    Notes -
    If you can't consume alcohol, vegetable or chicken stock can be used as a replacement for white wine. However, this dish will no longer be vegetarian if you use chicken stock. This also applies to Parmigiano Reggiano, as it’s made with animal rennet. Parmesan cheese, the less expensive and lower-quality version, can go either way. Always check the labels before purchasing.
    Pine nuts are expensive, so if you don't want to use them, most other nuts are great alternatives. If allergies are a concern, leave them out altogether.

    Many years ago, I watched the famous Italian designer, Valentino, make this recipe with Martha Stewart on one of her tv shows. He explained that it was a common and popular dish to make for a light lunch in Italy.
    The recipe has become a regular on my meal rotation for years and this is the first time I have watched it being made again. Thanks, Chef!

      Costco sells it for about 1/2 the price of grocery stores. I've also bought reduced price cheese at the grocery store and then grated it all and stored it in the freezer until ready to use.

    • @ChefJackOvens
      @ChefJackOvens  3 місяці тому

      Paid $4 for Parmesan cheese and you can get 5-6 dishes out of it depending on crazy you are with cheese. There’s always other ways to look at things. Yes something might be x amount of $$$ but look at how many dishes you get out of it and divide it by that. In the long run, it’s so much cheaper
