Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Add the penne, cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, olive oil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Stir to evenly combine; it's ok if not all of the pasta and tomatoes are fully submerged in the liquid. Place the log of goat cheese on top and in the center of the bowl.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the pasta together until the tomatoes have all been crushed and the cheese is thoroughly integrated into the sauce. Spoon into serving bowls and top with the basil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, oregano and red pepper flakes to a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Nestle the goat cheese in the dish among the other ingredients and drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil. Bake until the tomatoes have blistered and the goat cheese has melted slightly, 22 to 25 minutes.
• While the tomatoes and goat cheese bake, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
• Remove the tomatoes and goat cheese from the oven. Add the pesto and begin tossing everything together, breaking up the goat cheese as you go and adding a little pasta water, until you have a creamy consistency. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Serve hot garnished with the fresh basil.

Steps:

• Crumble goat cheese fresh from refrigerator. Let warm to room temperature.
• Pluck off and discard the ends of the snap peas.
• In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add salt and the pasta. Bring to a boil again and cook, stirring, for 6 minutes. Add the snap peas, bring to a boil again and cook 3 minutes more, stirring. Do not overcook. The pasta and the peas should be al dente. Drain, and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the olive oil, add the garlic and cook briefly. Do not brown. Add the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• Add the pasta and peas. Add the reserved cooking liquid, goat cheese and basil. Toss well. Adjust the seasoning. Cook briefly until thick. Serve immediately.
