Cast Iron Cookbook - Joanna Pruess
Mom’s Mac and Cheese with Bacon
½ pound uncooked elbow macaroni, cellentani, or other tubular pasta
¼ pound thick-sliced lean bacon, cut crosswise into ½-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached allpurpose flour
3¼ cups whole milk
4 cups (1 pound) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
⅓ cup panko bread crumbs, found in the Asian food section of supermarkets
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, put the bacon in a 10-inch Dutch oven or skillet and cook it over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the onions and continue to cook until they are golden and the bacon is cooked through.
Add enough of the butter so you have 3 tablespoons of fat in the pan. When it has melted, stir in the flour and cook until lightly colored, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring until smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Add 3 cups of the cheese and stir until it has melted. Stir the macaroni and season with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Combine the remaining cup of Cheddar, the Parmigiano-Reggiano, and panko crumbs in a bowl. Spoon the mixture over the macaroni and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
My Favorite Deep-Dish Vegetarian Pizza
1 pound pizza dough, defrosted in the refrigerator if frozen (see the recipe notes on page 42)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise
1 cup Italian tomato pasta sauce
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 cups small broccoli florets, cooked
½ cup (2 ounces) sun-dried tomatoes in oil, blotted on paper towels and thinly sliced
⅓ cup (2 ounces) pitted oil-cured olives, chopped
1½ teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
Pinch of red pepper flakes, crushed (optional)
2 cups (½ pound) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1 (6.5-ounce) jar marinated and quartered artichoke hearts, drained and blotted on paper towels
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
Preheat your oven to 500°F. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 3 ½ to 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the onions and sauté about 3 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Wipe out the skillet and brush the bottom and sides with oil.
Work the dough into a disc about 12 inches in diameter. Lay it in the skillet and gently push it up the sides. If the dough extends over the edges, trim it even with the pan.
Ladle on the sauce, spreading it with a spatula to within ½ inch of the edges; add the garlic, onion, broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives followed by the oregano, pepper flakes, and finally the mozzarella. Bake for 15 minutes; then add the artichoke hearts, sprinkle on the Parmigiano-Reggiano, adjust the heat down to 400°F, and cook until
