Ditalini With Bacon And Milk Food

BLT PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning as needed, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to cook the bacon in two batches, draining the rendered fat from the skillet between batches.) Let the bacon cool to room temperature, then crumble up into bite-sized pieces.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Add the pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, herbs and half of the crumbled bacon to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold together to coat. Top with remaining bacon and serve.

CHEESY DITALINI WITH CHICKEN AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, then drain.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and thyme and cook until softened. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes, then whisk in the broth and milk. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, spinach and pasta and cook to heat through. Stir in the gruyère and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with toasted breadcrumbs.

DITALINI AND PEAS

Steps:

• Cook 1 1/2 cups ditalini as the label directs. Cook 1 minced garlic clove in 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat, 4 minutes. Add 1 cup thawed frozen peas, 1/3 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; bring to a simmer, cover and cook 5 minutes. Puree the liquid, half of the peas and 2 tablespoons grated parmesan. Toss with the pasta and the remaining peas; season with salt. Top with basil and more parmesan.

DITALINI WITH BACON AND MILK

Steps:

• Cut bacon into 1/4-inch batons. Put into a 10-inch or 12-inch sauté pan, with the oil, and a pinch of salt.
• Cook over medium heat. When the bacon begins to sizzle, put in a good amount of ground black pepper, and one or two pinches of chile flakes.
• Stir the bacon until it is rather done, then remove the pan from heat. Pour off most of the fat, save for another purpose, or discard. Add the chopped parsley and the flour to the pan, stir until no longer white.
• Cook the ditalini in boiling, salted water until very al dente. Add the drained pasta and the milk to the pan. Return to heat. Cook to a boil. Simmer briefly, until the pasta soaks up some of the sauce.
• Serve in a warm bowl, with, or without, grated cheese.
