LIDIA'S LINGUINI WITH BROCCOLI AND CLAM SAUCE
I am posting this recipe by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich by request of one of the members of the Italian cooking forum. I have never had a chance to try it myself but it looks and sounds fabulous, just like everything Lidia prepares on her TV show. I am guessing about the preparation time so if anyone tries this recipe, please let me know how long it took to prepare!

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, ROASTED PEPPERS, AND OLIVES
Simple enough, and a dynamite flavor combination! The lemon juice really pulls everything together. Adapted from" Field of Greens", by Annie Somerville. You can use fresh roasted peppers , but I usually use good quality bottled roasted peppers from the pantry. Omit the optional cheese to make it vegan.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Linguine is a great choice for this dish because it holds the sauce well and is sturdy enough to stand up to the broccoli and red peppers. Other good options include fettuccine, rigatoni, and penne.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta to hold its shape and not become mushy when you add the sauce.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh broccoli and red peppers will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables can also be used.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the broccoli and red peppers just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as a tomato sauce, a pesto sauce, or a cream sauce.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs: Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, will add a finishing touch to your dish and make it look more appetizing.
Conclusion:
Linguine with broccoli and red peppers is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its colorful vegetables and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
