Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes in thick tomato puree
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano (1 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup shredded imported Italian fontina (1 1/2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup crumbled Italian Gorgonzola (1 1/2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 pound imported penne rigate pasta
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil in a stockpot.
Combine all the ingredients except the penne and butter in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Drop the penne into the boiling water and parboil for 4 minutes. Drain well in a colander and add to the ingredients in the mixing bowl, tossing to combine.
Divide the pasta mixture among 6 shallow ceramic gratin dishes (1 1/2 to 2-cup capacity). Dot with the butter and bake until bubbly and brown on top, 7 to 10 minutes.

Very good. One thing I loved about the recipe is that it went together in a snap, and yet it would be great for entertaining. I did add a crushed up clove of garlic in with the hot pasta for a little extra something. Very elegant dish. It did take on just a slight pink color with the tomato puree, and I don't remember seeing that come through in the episode we watched, but no complaints as the taste was phenomenal. Thanks Ina - yet another winner of a recipe.

Excellent pasta dish! My family loved it (even 6 year old. I added twice the amount of tomatoes and it worked well. I added sausage and onion in a separate pasta dish for my husband, spinach and mushrooms in a separate one for me, and chicken for my kids. I had read below that the cheese was expensive but I found that at Wegmans in the Cheese Shop they can measure out smaller amounts for you so you don't have to get more than you need for the dish and the total for the cheese came to less than $10. Overall a very good meal!
