LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED ARTICHOKES



Lemon Spaghetti With Roasted Artichokes image

Lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan and basil come together for a silky and vibrant sauce that makes this weeknight-friendly pasta sing. The addition of roasted artichoke hearts adds texture and complements the zestiness of the dish. There's no better time than a weeknight to embrace canned or frozen artichoke hearts, as they are immensely less work than whole fresh ones, and they roast beautifully - and effortlessly - in a hot oven. Holding onto that salty, starchy pasta water is key to ensuring that each spaghetti noodle is enveloped in the lemony sauce; use it judiciously to emulsify the sauce as you quickly toss it.

Categories     dinner, lunch, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound frozen halved artichoke hearts (thawed in a strainer), or 2 (14-ounce) cans halved artichoke hearts in water, drained
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
6 ounces Parmesan, very finely grated
1 large lemon, zested (about 1/2 heaping teaspoon) and juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup torn basil leaves, plus more for garnishing

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently pat the artichoke hearts with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the artichoke hearts in a mound in the center of the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt, season with pepper and gently toss to combine. Scatter the artichoke hearts in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the hearts and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until browned and a little crisp around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, in a serving dish large enough to accommodate the spaghetti, add the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the lemon zest; toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine. The mixture should resemble a thick paste.
  • Place the serving dish next to the pasta pot. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of it over the Parmesan-lemon mixture; stir to thin out the mixture a little.
  • Using tongs, lift out some of the spaghetti (with its cooking water still clinging to it) and transfer to the Parmesan-lemon mixture; quickly toss and drag the spaghetti in a circular motion around the dish to incorporate the sauce. Repeat until you have transferred and tossed all of the spaghetti.
  • Add the butter, basil and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water to the spaghetti, and keep tossing until you have a silky sauce clinging to it. Add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  • Top with the roasted artichokes, a little more black pepper and torn basil, and serve.

Ginger-Miso Pasta Salad image

No mayo alert! This pasta salad takes inspiration from spring rolls with edamame, carrots, and bell peppers. The dressing is a savory combination of miso, ginger, soy, and sesame. This salad gets better as it sits, making it perfect for picnics.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
1 pound cavatappi pasta
3 cups broccoli florets
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced in half, then into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1/2 cup shredded carrot
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons yellow miso paste
3 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Add in the broccoli and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the miso paste, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to a mason jar, cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside.
  • Add the cucumbers, bell peppers, edamame, and carrots to a large bowl. Add in the warm pasta and broccoli. Pour the dressing onto the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with chopped chives and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Prep the vegetables first. You can cut and spiralize the vegetables up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. Spaghetti is best when it's cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Add the noodles to the dressing while they're still warm. This will help the dressing to better coat the noodles and absorb their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad. Use a large bowl to toss the salad so that the noodles and vegetables have plenty of room to mix together.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Spaghetti salad is best when it's served fresh. However, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Gingery Spaghetti Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. With its tangy dressing, crisp vegetables, and al dente noodles, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
