Cook the penne pasta in the water, drain, then add the mixed ingredients and toss to combine. Divide into ceramic gratin dishes, dot with butter, and bake until brown and bubbly.

Ina’s Provencal Tomatoes are super easy to make and fantastic for serving at large gatherings. But they are so good, your guests could get obsessed.

I have made them for Thanksgiving, dinner parties, and just for my boyfriend and me, and I’m just obsessed with them,” one happy fan wrote. “This dish is one of my most favorites in my repertoire, and I will continue to use it over and over again.”

8. The crust, filling, and topping are all homemade in the Raspberry Cheesecake recipe

Everything in Ina’s recipe for Raspberry Cheesecake is made from scratch, but don’t be intimidated! The ingredient list is actually quite limited. For the crust, you’ll need graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and unsalted butter. To make the filling, you’ll need cream cheese, sugar, extra-large eggs, extra-large egg yolks, sour cream, grated lemon zest, and pure vanilla extract.

To make the optional topping, Ina’s recipe calls for red jelly such as currant, raspberry, or strawberry, and fresh raspberries.
