FARFALLE WITH CREMINI, ASPARAGUS AND WALNUTS



Farfalle With Cremini, Asparagus and Walnuts image

I saw this on "Everyday Italian" yesterday and really wanted to try it, mainly because I love both mushrooms and asparagus, and have been wanting a recipe to use up some of the mascarpone cheese in our fridge! I liked it a lot, and my husband loved it. I preferred mine without walnuts, so you may want to serve these on the side. It is so quick to make that it's sure to become a regular at our house! Keep in mind, however, that this is a very mild pasta, most likely very different from what you're used to!

FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, ASPARAGUS & PANCETTA



Farfalle with chicken, asparagus & pancetta image

Invite some friends over and wow them with this delectable, creamy dish

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

500g asparagus
2 lemons
100g thinly sliced pancetta
500g farfalle
50g butter
284ml carton double cream
2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 250g/9oz total weight), torn into strips
a few gratings of fresh nutmeg
50g parmesan , freshly grated, plus extra for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the asparagus and cut into short lengths on the diagonal - keep the tips separate. (If you like, peel the stems to give a more vibrant colour when cooked.) Cook the stems in salted boiling water for about 4 minutes, then add the tips and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
  • Peel the lemons with a serrated knife, remove all the white pith, then cut into segments by slicing each side of the pieces of membrane. Now cut the segments into small pieces (flick out any pips) and put them in a bowl with any juice. Grill the pancetta for 3-4 minutes until crisp - keep an eye on it because it can burn easily.
  • Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of well-salted boiling water until al dente.While it's cooking, put the butter and half the cream in a large pan and let them bubble together over a low heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly. Tip in the lemon segments and juice, the chicken, asparagus and a few pinches of salt. Turn off the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the contents of the pan along with the rest of the cream. Toss well, adding black pepper and nutmeg to taste, and the grated parmesan. Toss again, top with the pancetta and serve immediately.

LEMONY PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS AND WHITE BEANS



Lemony Pasta With Asparagus and White Beans image

Marinating canned white beans in lemon juice and zest, along with red-pepper flakes and shallots, imbues them with brightness and a touch of heat, adding so much flavor to this warm-weather pasta. It's dead simple to make: While the pasta cooks and the beans marinate, sauté the asparagus in olive oil, then use that pan to finish the dish. There's enough asparagus in the mix to make this a one-pan meal, but serving it with a crisp green salad on the side will add a little crunch and freshness.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, noodles, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large lemon, plus more fresh lemon juice for serving
1 (15-ounce) can white beans, rinsed
1 shallot, finely diced, or 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
3 garlic cloves (2 thinly sliced, 1 finely grated)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound short pasta, such as campanelle, fusilli or farfalle
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), ends trimmed, stalks sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from the lemon into a small bowl. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice from half of it on top of the zest. Add the white beans, shallot or onion, grated garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt and toss well. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just shy of al dente, usually 2 minutes less than the package directs.
  • Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then add the asparagus. Sauté until the asparagus is tender and starting to brown at the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the sliced garlic and sauté until the garlic is lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Dip a coffee mug or glass measuring cup into the pasta water and scoop out about 1/2 cup of it to use for the sauce. Drain pasta, shaking it well. Add pasta, bean mixture, parsley and Parmesan to sauté pan and cook until the beans are hot and the pasta is al dente. If the mixture looks dry, splash in some (or all) of the reserved pasta water. Squeeze remaining lemon half over pasta, toss and taste. Season with pepper; add more salt, red-pepper flakes and lemon juice, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose thin asparagus for a more tender texture.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends.
  • Cook the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  • Drain the asparagus and immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sauté the shallots and garlic.
  • Add the asparagus, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until heated through.
  • Stir in the farfalle pasta and cook according to the package directions.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the pasta and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.

Conclusion:

This asparagus and farfalle with lemon and pepper is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a light and flavorful meal. The asparagus is tender-crisp, the lemon and pepper add a bright and zesty flavor, and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
