\"Torta<\/a>

Torta di Pasta served with Broccoli Rape<\/p><\/div>\n

So this is the second time I try this recipe<\/a> from the Giada De Laurentiis cookbook ‘Everyday Italian,’ and it was completely different and just as delicious.<\/p>\n

The first time I tried the Torta di Pasta, which is essentially a pasta omelette, I substituted pre-made sun dried tomato pesto for whole sun dried tomatoes, and asiago for the fontina cheese.<\/p>\n

This time, I used macaroni pasta that had already been cooked and had plain tomato sauce on it. And for the cheese, I used a combination of ricotta salata, mozzarella, friulano and parmeggiano.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is I think you could use just about any type of pasta and any combination of cheeses and you would get a delicious dinner that you can even make out of leftover pasta, as long as it’s not so saucy that it won’t stick together.<\/p>\n

The only trick is to scale back the amount of salt, depending on how strong the cheeses are that you’re using.<\/p>\n

To me, the hallmark of a great recipe that will turn into a regular staple in my kitchen is one that adapts to the ingredients you happen to have on hand, not one that requires ingredients you wouldn’t use for anything else.<\/p>\n

And I think this recipe falls into that category, making it an easy one dish, weeknight meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
