Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 – 8oz. wedges of Jarlsberg® Cheese – shredded
  • 3 – 4 beefsteak tomatoes – sliced
  • 5 – 6 cloves of garlic – chopped
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil – leaves removed from stems, cleaned and dried
  • ¼ cup of fresh Romano cheese – grated
  • 1 tsp. of dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. of salt
  • ½ tsp. of fresh ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. of red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup of Italian style breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbs. of butter
  • 1 lb. of ziti
  • 3 – 5 tablespoons of olive oil and more for drizzling

Instruction

  • Place the sliced tomatoes in a large bowl, add the fresh chopped garlic and 10 – 12 leaves of fresh basil.
  • Add two to three tablespoons of olive oil and the seasonings and gently toss so that you do not break the tomatoes.
  • Heat a large cast iron frying pan and place the tomato mixture in the pan and heat just until the tomatoes soften a bit.
  • Prepare the ziti as directed and drain.
  • Heat a smaller cast iron frying pan and place the butter in the pan. When the butter melts add the breadcrumbs and toss to absorb the butter.
  • Combine the grated Jarlsberg® Cheese with the grated Romano cheese and toss.
