Conchiglioni al forno con bietola e ricotta: ovvero una pasta al forno con un ripieno cremoso e ricco, da preparare in pochi minuti.
Com’è possibile? Semplicemente utilizzando una pasta di grano duro di un formato tipo conchiglioni o paccheri o lumaconi che hanno la possibilità di esser farciti una volta sbollentati.
Preparare questa pasta ripiena è un gioco da ragazzi e visto il freddo che fa, una teglia fumante di pasta al forno è proprio quello che ci vuole.
How is that possible? Simply using a durum wheat pasta of a size such as shells or paccheri or snails that have the possibility to be stuffed once cooked al dente in boiling water.
Preparing this stuffed pasta is a breeze and given the cold it makes, a steaming baking tray of baked pasta is just what it takes.
Ingredients (for 4 people):
250 g shell-type pasta
300 g cooked chard or spinach or other green leafy vegetables (I used those of Le Cotte)
250 g cottage cheese
4 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Béchamel:
500 ml milk
40 g flour
40 g butter
salt and pepper
nutmeg q.b.
Prepare the béchamel sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and cook the roux for two minutes, add the cold milk a little at a time, continuing to stir. cook always stirring until you have the desired consistency, adjusted with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
For me the béchamel must be a little more “slow”, fluid since it will go into the oven for a few minutes with the pasta and I like to find its creaminess in the dish, avoiding that it is too pulled after and dense.
Cook the very al dente pasta in boiling salted water. Meanwhile, chop the cooked chard and add it to a bowl with ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano. Salt-adjusted.
Drain the pasta, greased with evo oil. Fill the pasta with the filling.
Take a baking tray and have the béchamel, then the shells and cover with another béchamel. Sprinkle with parmesan and add small butter flakes. Bake at 180° until you see a golden crust.
Of course you can adapt the recipe to your diet, vegan and or gluten free.
