PAPPARDELLE WITH LEMON, BABY ARTICHOKES, AND ASPARAGUS



Pappardelle With Lemon, Baby Artichokes, and Asparagus image

I found this in Cooking Light in an article about fresh spring vegetables. This one uses two of those, baby artichokes and asparagus. Baby artichokes are tiny artichokes (usually no bigger than a large egg) that are completely edible (except the stem). For proper-sized baby artichokes, only the outer-most layer of leaves needs to be pulled off. If your artichokes are bigger than egg-sized, it is a good idea to remove the leaves until you get to the heart to avoid any bitterness. Pappardelle is a very wide ribbon pasta. If you can't find it, use the widest ribbon pasta you can find (usually fettuccine). And if you are like me and usually forget to reserve pasta water, a little chicken broth or even the soaking water from the artichokes can be used. Vegan without cheese or with a substitute.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces pappardelle pasta, uncooked
2 1/4 cups cold water, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
24 baby artichokes (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into (1-inch)
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 cups parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Set pasta aside; keep warm.
  • Combine 2 cups water and juice in a medium bowl. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, cut off stem to within 1/4-inch from the base; peel stem. Remove bottom leaves and tough outer leaves, leaving tender heart and bottom; trim about 1/2 inch from top of artichoke. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise. Place artichoke halves in lemon water.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain artichokes well; pat dry. Add artichokes to pan. Cover and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally; uncover. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 2 minutes or until artichokes are golden, stirring frequently. Place artichokes in a large bowl.
  • Place pan over medium heat; add remaining 1/4 cup water and asparagus to pan. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add asparagus, parsley, and rind to artichokes; toss well. Add pasta, reserved cooking liquid, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, thyme, salt, and pepper to artichoke mixture; toss well. Place 2 cups pasta mixture into each of 6 shallow bowls; top each serving with about 3 tablespoons cheese.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch pencil-thin asparagus
1/2 pound pappardelle pasta (or fettucine)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice(about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and cut each stalk into 3 to 4 pieces, slicing on the diagonal. Cook the asparagus in a pot of lightly salted, boiling water for 2 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Immediately place in a bowl of ice water, or under cold running water. After asparagus cool, drain, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (barely tender), about 10 to 12 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, combine lemon juice and white wine in a small non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 to 3 tablespoons. Add salt and cream and reduce to about 2/3 cup. Remove from heat and stir in one tablespoon of the lemon zest. Cover to keep warm until the pasta is cooked. When pasta is cooked, drain and return it to the cooking pot. Add asparagus pieces, lemon cream sauce and minced parsley. Toss gently to combine. Transfer to a warm serving platter or plates. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of lemon zest and serve.

Pappardelle in Lemon Cream Sauce with Asparagus and Smoked Salmon image

Categories     Pasta     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Salmon     Asparagus     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound asparagus
2 large shallots
2 lemons
1/4 pound sliced smoked salmon (optional)
1 pound dried pappardelle or fettuccine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Trim asparagus and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Finely chop shallots. Finely grate enough lemon zest to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons and squeeze enough juice to measure 3 tablespoons. Cut salmon into 2 x 1/2-inch strips.
  • Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for asparagus and pasta. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
  • Cook asparagus in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Reserve water in pot over low heat, covered. Drain asparagus and set aside some asparagus tips for garnish.
  • In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet cook shallots in butter with salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and zest and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and remove skillet from heat. Return water in pot to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente and ladle out and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in a colander and add to sauce with asparagus, 1/2 cup pasta water, three fourths salmon, remaining tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more remaining pasta water as needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through.
  • Serve pasta garnished with reserved asparagus tips and remaining salmon.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh baby artichokes and asparagus.
  • If you can't find baby artichokes, you can use regular artichokes. Just be sure to trim them and remove the choke before cooking.
  • You can also use other vegetables in this recipe, such as zucchini, broccoli, or peas.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead.
  • To make this recipe vegan, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the Parmesan cheese.
