Cooking Steps

Cook penne
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil over high.
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep
2
  • While the water comes to a boil, peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Drain, then rinse olives. Pat dry with paper towels, then roughly chop.
  • Pat bocconcini dry with paper towels. Tear into quarters, then season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
Start sauce
3
  • While penne cooks, heat a large oven-proof pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant.
  • Season with salt.
Finish sauce
4
  • To the pan with shallots, add crushed tomatoes, olives, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) chili flakes and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
  • Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) balsamic glaze.
  • Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
Assemble and broil penne
5
  • To the pot with penne, add sauce and spinach, then stir to combine.
  • Transfer penne to the same oven-proof pan. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer penne to an 8x8-inch [9x13-inch] baking dish.)
  • Arrange bocconcini over penne. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven for 4-5 min, until cheese melts.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide penne al forno between plates.
  • Sprinkle remaining chili flakes over top, if you like.
  • Drizzle with remaining balsamic glaze.
