Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Pasta Primavera Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch fresh basil
3 cups chicken broth, divided
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 pound fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped

2 pinches salt
2 zucchinis, diced
1 cup chopped sugar snap peas
½ cup shelled English peas
1 bunch asparagus, stalks diced, tips left whole
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or as needed

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Hold basil bunch by the stems and dip basil leaves in boiling water until bright green, about 2 seconds. Immediately immerse basil in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the basil is cold, drain well. Remove basil leaves from stems and discard stems.
  • Blend basil leaves, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup olive oil, and garlic together in a blender until smooth.
  • Stir fettuccine into the same pot of boiling water, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir leek and green onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add jalapeno and salt; cook and stir until jalapeno is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Stir 2 cups chicken broth, zucchini, sugar snap peas, and English peas into jalapeno mixture; bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add asparagus and continue cooking until asparagus is soft, about 3 minutes more.
  • Pour 1/4 cup basil-garlic mixture into zucchini mixture and cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Place pasta in a large bowl; pour zucchini mixture over pasta and pour remaining basil-garlic mixture over the zucchini mixture. Spread Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss mixture briefly to combine and tightly wrap bowl with aluminum foil. Let stand until pasta and vegetables soak up most of the juices and oil, about 5 minutes. Toss again.

"MOCK" FETTUCCINI PRIMAVERA



Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium spaghetti squash
Primavera Sauce, recipe follows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup small broccoli florets, lightly blanched
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Salt and pepper
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Grape tomatoes, sliced in half, for garnish

Steps:

  • Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon as you would a pumpkin. Then completely submerge both halves in boiling water and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the inside is tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (It is better to undercook if you are not sure). Remove, drain, and cool with cold water or an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its skin, and at the same time, fluff and separate the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Discard the skin.
  • Reheat the squash strands by dipping with a strainer in boiling water just before serving. Top with Primavera Sauce.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium high-heat. Add broccoli and saute for about 1 minute. Then whisk in cream and egg yolk and cook for only 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly just to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the butter and the parsley. Pour over or toss with the hot spaghetti squash. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grape tomatoes.

FETTUCCINE PRIMAVERA



Fettuccine Primavera image

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.

From Simple and Delicious - boy I love this magazine! Submitted by T. Perrault. I love how she combined cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini within this recipe. Just a lovely combination. Feel free to use already prepared Alfredo sauce or your own recipe for Alfredo sauce.
