A blend of fresh tomatoes and heavy cream make a very savory dish that tastes a lot like fancy mac and cheese.

Per serving

  • 100g pasta
  • 2 Roma/plum tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Whole black peppercorn
  • Salt

Directions

  • Bring a small pot of saltwater to boil
  • Heat a frying pan (stainless > nonstick, no cast/carbon) up to medium heat
  • Add pasta to the pot
  • Add peppercorns to the pan and fry until they no longer make noise, then remove them from the pan
  • Deskin and deseed the tomatoes, then add them to the pan, being careful to avoid splattering
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until tomato pectin begin to gel
  • Once gelled, add in the heavy cream and continue stirring until the sauce thickens, salt to taste
  • Transfer undercooked pasta to sauce, being sure to bring over starched pasta water as you do so
  • Stir to emulsify the starched water into the sauce and coat the pasta as it cooks
  • Plate, garnish with Parmigiano Reggiano, and enjoy!

Tips

  • To deskin and deseed your tomatoes, use Kenji Lopez-Alt's method. Cut the tomatoes in half, then run the cut edge along a cheese grater to shred the pulp, using the skin of the tomato as a barrier between your hand and the grater. Push the pulp through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds and fibrous bits.
  • Pour the tomato pulp into your wooden spoon instead of directly into the oil to help reduce splattering.

Are they the same as Pipe Rigate ? It looks delicious!

Thank you, and yes, they looks nearly identical. The only difference I notice are that my shells have ridges while those are smooth.

The ridges help trap sauce, it's a feature!
