The Penne of the 7 Sins is a mysterious and perhaps more intriguing way to call the pasta with 7 Ps where in this recipe the Ps stand for:

– bacon;

– leek;

– peas;

– peeled tomatoes;

– chili pepper;

– parsley:

– cream!

While researching on the web, I found that other recipes also called 7 Ps include bell pepper, so… it’s up to you!

It is a recipe for a tasty and very easy first course that has no season and in my opinion can satisfy everyone!

If you want to make the sauce of the pasta with 7 Ps creamier, add more cream and tomato, but even as it is, the first course is very appetizing, and we can complete it by adding a nice spoonful of grated Parmesan before serving it at the table!

Ingredients

#ADV

11.3 oz penne rigate (For me, De Cecco)
2.5 oz bacon
0.5 cup cooking cream
8.8 oz peeled tomatoes (Today I tried those from ESSELUNGA and chopped them in the pan)
3.5 oz peas (glass jar or frozen)
1 leek (about 1.5 inches of the WHITE PART ONLY)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
to taste salt
to taste chili powder
1 pinch pepper (optional)
to taste parsley (freshly chopped)

Tools

#ADV

High-sided Saucepan
Knives KNIFE
Pans
Spatulas

Steps

1) Remove the outer sheath of the leek and slice the white part into thin rings.
2) Pour the extra virgin olive oil into the pan, and as soon as it is hot, add the leek and let it brown, adding a tablespoon of hot water if needed, and let it stew for 3/4 minutes.
3) Then add the cubed bacon and let it sizzle until browned on all sides.
4) Season with chili pepper and mix well to blend different aromas and textures.
5) Now it’s time for the peas, and after a few minutes, add the peeled tomatoes, which you then mash with a fork, and cook for about 10 minutes, being careful that the sauce does not dry out too much (if so, add a little water)!
6) Finish preparing the sauce by adding the cooking cream (you can also use heavy whipping cream if you like) and as you combine everything, adjust the salt (pepper if desired) and turn off the heat.
7) In the high-sided saucepan that was already on the flame with water for cooking the pasta, add the penne to the boiling water, cooking for the time indicated on the package, preferably al dente!
8) Drain the damp pasta and pour it into the pan with the sauce, adjust the seasoning, and plate each portion, sprinkling with freshly chopped parsley!
9) It is a first course rich in aromas that has a good balance and I believe will appeal to both adults and children!
Enjoy your meal!
