LINGUINE WITH CHICKPEAS, BROCCOLI AND RICOTTA
The broiler is an unsung kitchen hero because it imparts a flavorful char in half the time that grilling takes. In this 20-minute recipe, kale, broccoli and chickpeas crisp under the broiler while the pasta water boils. Make sure to spread out the vegetables and chickpeas so they have room to caramelize properly instead of steaming (the more crunchy bits, the better). Finish by tossing the pasta and vegetables with a quick sauce of butter, lemon zest and fresh ricotta, a rich and creamy complement to the charred vegetables. Enjoy with crusty bread, good wine and a sense of accomplishment - you just got dinner on the table in under a half hour.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the broiler and set a rack roughly 8 inches from the heat source. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, chickpeas, garlic, red-pepper flakes and 1/3 cup oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly on one sheet pan. Add the kale to the same bowl, and toss to coat in any residual oil. Drizzle with more oil as needed and toss to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on the second sheet pan.
- Working with 1 sheet pan at a time, broil the broccoli and chickpeas, tossing halfway through cooking, until the chickpeas are toasty and the broccoli is tender and charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Broil the kale until just charred and crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Zest the lemon, halve it, then cut 1 half into 4 wedges. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the roasted vegetables and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Return the pasta to the pot. Add the 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water, the ricotta, butter and lemon zest and toss until well combined. Add the roasted vegetables and toss, adding more pasta water as needed.
- Divide among four bowls. Season with flaky sea salt and pepper, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top. Drizzle with more oil, if desired.

LINGUINE WITH BROCCOLI, PEAS, RICOTTA AND BACON
Found this recipe in the Woman's Day magazine, Sept 23. It is from a cook called the Seasonal Kitchen by Serge Dansereau. Linguine is rather similar to fettuccine and I would imagine any long pasta would work well. I've made this and it is delicious, quick and easy. The recipe says that basil can be swopped for parsley, but I think the basil adds another dimension to the recipe that parsley wouldn't. The left-overs, reheated the next day, taste just as nice as when first made. A keeper for sure.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Linguine is a great choice for this dish, as it holds the sauce well and is still light and delicate. However, you could also use other types of pasta, such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, or penne.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh broccoli and peas will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. The broccoli and peas should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch to them.
- Use good quality cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan or ricotta cheese will give your dish a rich and creamy flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. This dish is a great opportunity to experiment with different flavors. You could add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or even a splash of white wine to the sauce.
Conclusion:
This linguine with broccoli, peas, ricotta, and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
