\"Penne<\/a><\/p>\n

This week’s recipe comes from my daughter-in-law who is a wonderful, inventive, cook who uses fresh, healthy, and nutritious ingredients in everything she makes. She was putting this dish together one morning a few months back as we were saying our good-byes, and it smelled heavenly. On another visit, I copied the recipe from one of her (and my son’s) favorite cook books, Italian Country Cooking<\/em><\/a> by\u00a0Loukie Werle.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, the time came to concoct a dairy-free version of the original recipe. It was delicious! Below is the result of the weekend’s experiment. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.<\/p>\n

Dairy-Free Penne with Meatballs in the Oven<\/h2>\n

1 pound short dried pasta, such as penne or casareccia
\n16 ounces of Tofuttie’s Better than Ricotta Cheese<\/a>
\ngrated paremesan on table for those who want to sprinkle it on top<\/p>\n

Sauce:<\/em>
\n2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
\n1\/4 pound pancetta or bacon, coarsely chopped
\n2\u201314 oz. cans Italian tomatoes, chopped with juice
\n1\/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley<\/p>\n

Meatballs:<\/em>
\n1 thick slice Italian-type bread, crusts removed
\n1\/3 cup almond, rice, or soy milk
\n1 pound minced veal (Can also use ground beef)<\/em>
\n2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
\n1 large egg, lightly beaten
\n3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
\n3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n

Make the meatballs first: soak the bread in the milk until the almond milk has been absorbed. Squeeze the bread dry, crumble into a bowl, together with the veal, garlic, egg, and parsley. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Roll into small balls with wet hands. Heat a frying pan over high heat, add oil and when hot, add the balls and brown them on all sides, turning them over carefully so they brown evenly. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Combine the oil, garlic, and pancetta\/bacon in a frying pan and cook over moderately low heat until the fat runs, about 5 minutes. Drain the fat. Add tomatoes and parsley, bring to a boil, then simmer over moderate heat until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Cook the penne in plenty of boiling salted water until nearly al dente. Drain, reserving a small measuring cup of the cooking water. Combine the pasta in a large bowl with the tomato sauce, the meatballs and ricotta. Add enough of the cooking liquid to keep moist.<\/p>\n

Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
