Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 pound slow-dried penne rigate
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups prepared marinara sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3/4 pound heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunk
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 3/4 cup torn basil leaves, plus more for garnish
- 4 zucchini blossoms, stems and pistils removed, blossoms halved, for garnish (optional)
- Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino cheese, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the stock and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Keep warm over very low heat.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of oil. Add the shallot and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the penne and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add the wine and simmer, stirring, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add 11/2 cups of the warm stock mixture and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until nearly absorbed. Stir in the marinara sauce; bring to a simmer. Continue adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently, until nearly absorbed before adding more. The pasta is done when it's al dente and the sauce is thick, about 25 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the pasta and cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the 3/4 cup of basil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to bowls and garnish with the zucchini blossoms (if using) and basil. Serve right away with cheese.
