RECIPES

Here’s some clever meals you can make using our really Fresh Orange Juice:

ORANGE PASTA

  • 8 oz. short-cut pasta like rigatoni, penne, etc.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 oz. pancetta or bacon (optional, the dish is otherwise vegetarian if you leave this out)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Don Simon orange juice
  • ½ cup tomato paste
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • zest of 1/2 an orange

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. While that’s happening, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and pancetta/bacon (if using). Allow the pancetta to crisp up, and then add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until caramelized. ½ cup basil, julienned stir in the orange juice and tomato paste, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the half and half. Scoop in your cooked pasta (reserve the cooking liquid), and parmesan cheese.

Give everything a good stir. Add in a little more of the starchy pasta water if the sauce needs thinning out.  Stir in the orange zest and basil. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed and you have this caramelized, glistening, tangy, orange pasta sauce with rigatoni ready to eat. Serve hot and the kids will love it!
