Baked Feta & Tomato Penne

Ingredients

Directions

In a medium frying pan over medium high heat, cook the ground sausage with a little Stock Market Tuscan Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil; drain the grease and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400F.

In a large baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes and place the feta block in the center. Drizzle with Stock Market Tuscan Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil , season with Fitch & Fennel The Original seasoning blend, Jacobsen’s Italian Sea Salt, Jacobsen’s freshly ground black pepper, mined garlic, and lemon zest. Stir the tomatoes to coat in the oil, seasoning and garlic (leaving the feta as a whole block in the middle still). Bake uncovered for about 35 minutes or until the tomatoes have burst and feta is soft and golden.

While the the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the penne in salted water to al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. 

Remove the baking dish from the oven, stir the feta and tomatoes into a creamy sauce; add the cooked sausage and cooked penne noodles and toss well to mix. Add the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce up a bit.

Top with freshly chopped basil and serve warm!

Feta Parmesan Stuffed Dates

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. 

Carefully slice each date in half lengthwise and remove the pit (creating a pocket for the filling).

In a medium bowl, mix together the crumbled feta and grated parmesan until well combined. Spoon the cheese mixture into each date (pressing gently to make sure they are filled).

In a small frying pan, heat the Stock Market Madagascar Black Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped walnuts and toast for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the walnuts are a golden in color, add the honey and thyme; remove from heat. Season with Jacobsen’s Italian Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Place the stuffed dates on a baking sheet and drizzle with the honey walnut mixture. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is warm and melted.

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and drizzle with Denissimo Fine Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar. Serve warm!

French Onion Soup Dip

Ingredients

Directions

Heat Stock Market Milanese Gremolata Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat in an 8″ cast iron skillet. Add the onions and reduce heat to low (allowing the onions to caramelize slowly). Stir occasionally (every five to 10 minutes).  

Once the onions are caramelized (this will take about 30-40 minutes – the onions will be a deep golden color when they are done), deglaze the pan with dry white wine. Turn off the heat and stir in the brie cheese until it is melted. Season with Jacobsen’s Italian Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Sprinkle in the fresh thyme on top. 

Serve hot with Rustic Oven sourdough bread.
