Name: Penne With 5 Cheeses Ala Barefoot Contessa - Ina Garten
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb penne; 2 cups cream; 1 cup crushed tomatoes (from a can); 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or romano); 2 -4 tablespoons gorgonzola, crumbled; 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese; 1/2 cup grated fontina; 1/4 lb mozzarella cheese (as fresh as possible); 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaf; 6 teaspoons butter (approximate, butter is to taste)

Servings: persons

1 lb penne
2 cups cream
1 cup crushed tomatoes (from a can)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or romano)
2 -4 tablespoons gorgonzola, crumbled
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated fontina
1/4 lb mozzarella cheese (as fresh as possible)
1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaf
6 teaspoons butter (approximate, butter is to taste)

1
Preheat oven to 500u00b0F.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook penne for just 4 minutes (or until barely al dente, as it will cook more in the oven); drain well.
3
Meanwhile, in a very large mixing bowl, combine the cream, crushed tomatoes, cheeses and basil.
4
On the show, very fresh buffalo mozzarella was used, and it was cut into slices and then slivered (much like a julienne); I'm sure shredded mozzarella would work just fine.
5
Add cooked, drained penne to sauce and stir well.
6
On the show, individual shallow serving dishes were filled with the pasta; I'm sure this could be done in a shallow casserole dish too, such as a 13x9 pan.
7
Either fill individual dishes with pasta, as above, or fill an entire shallow dish, then dot butter over surface in small pieces.
8
Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until top is browned.
9
On the show, the individual dishes were then refrigerated, uncovered, so that they could be reheated later in the evening; unfortunately, no information was given as to how the dish should be reheated (oven temp, time, etc) so, really, your guess is as good as mine.
