Farmer's Pasta RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS Level: Easy Total: 1 hr 10 min Prep: 25 min Cook: 45 min Yield: 8 servings Ingredients Butter, for greasing pan 2 tablespoons (or more) olive oil 6 ounces pancetta, chopped 4 teaspoons minced garlic 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 7 cups whole milk 8 ounces Fontina cheese, grated 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan 6 ounces provolone cheese, grated 1 pound rigatoni pasta 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 cups fresh coarse bread crumbs Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Directions Butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and saute until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a small bowl. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of the pan drippings (if necessary, add more oil to the pan drippings to equal 1/4 cup total). Reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 teaspoons of garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in all the Fontina, mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone cheeses. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook until almost al dente, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. (The pasta will continue cooking in the oven.) Drain pasta and add directly into the cheese. Add the parsley, basil, and pancetta and toss to coat. Season the pasta mixture, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared dish. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Add the bread crumbs and toss to coat. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the pasta mixture. Drizzle the top with extra-virgin olive oil and bake until the sauce bubbles and the bread crumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes. https://www.instagram.com/giadadelaurentiis https://www.facebook.com/giada/ https://twitter.com/GDeLaurentiis Subscribe to our channel to fill up on the latest must-eat recipes, brilliant kitchen hacks and content from your favorite Food Network shows. ► FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN APP: http://foodtv.com/FNKApp ► WEBSITE: https://www.foodnetwork.com ► FULL EPISODES: https://watch.foodnetwork.com ► FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/FoodNetwork ► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/FoodNetwork ► TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FoodNetwork #EverydayItalian #GiadaDeLaurentiis #FoodNetwork #FarmersPasta Giada De Laurentiis Makes Cheesy Farmer's Pasta | Everyday Italian | Food Network https://youtu.be/f_eUQ3n3PzI
