There are some pasta dishes that take Ree right back to her childhood and none more than Pasta O’s from a can. These days she makes her own, and this one-pot, homemade version is a real Drummond family favorite.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 large onion, diced small

1 tablespoon rosemary, minced

6 tablespoons tomato paste

3 cups chicken or vegetable stock

1/2 cup half-and-half

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

12 ounces anelletti pasta

1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish

1/4 cup chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and rosemary, then cook for 2 minutes to soften.
  2. Add the tomato paste and stir until the paste has coated the vegetables. Continue stirring then add the chicken stock and half-and-half. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper, along with the paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil before adding the pasta. Cook according to the package directions, stirring frequently so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is al dente.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir the Parmesan. Serve immediately, topped with more Parmesan and the chopped parsley.

I thought this was really good but had to add a lot more liquid to cook the Os.
