FETTUCCINE PRIMAVERA

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups semolina flour
1 pinch salt
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered
1 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces, blanched
1/2 pound carrots, sliced on the bias, blanched
1/4 pound fresh peas
1/2 pound snow peas
1 pound fava beans, shelled, blanched
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Thoroughly sift together all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and pinch of salt. On a clean surface, make a mountain out of flour mixture then make a deep well in center. Break the eggs into the well and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Whisk eggs very gently with a fork, gradually incorporating flour from the sides of the well. When mixture becomes too thick to mix with a fork, begin kneading with your hands. Knead dough for 8 to 12 minutes, until it is smooth and supple. Dust dough and work surface with semolina as needed to keep dough from becoming sticky. Wrap dough tightly in plastic and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Roll out dough with a pasta machine or a rolling pin to desired thickness. Run through the widest cutter on the pasta machine to make fettuccine. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Cook pasta until al dente, 1 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain immediately. Add remaining oil to saute pan. Add in garlic and cook until slightly brown. Add mushrooms and cook until soft. Add other vegetables to warm through and finish cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm. Place some sauteed vegetables on plate. Add some warm pasta. Top with more vegetables and more pasta. Add a few more vegetables and garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your primavera a more vibrant flavor and texture. If you can, try to use seasonal vegetables, as they will be at their peak flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a Good Quality Pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is made from high-quality durum wheat and that has a good texture.
  • Don't Rinse the Pasta: Rinsing the pasta will remove the starch, which is essential for creating a creamy sauce. Simply drain the pasta and add it to the sauce.
  • Make the Sauce Creamy: The key to a great primavera sauce is to make it creamy. You can do this by adding cream, milk, or even avocado.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to season your primavera to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a grating of Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Creamy fettuccine primavera is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its vibrant vegetables and creamy sauce, it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
