FARFALLE PASTA WITH BEET VINAIGRETTE AND PARSLEY PESTO



Farfalle Pasta with Beet Vinaigrette and Parsley Pesto image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 cups fresh curly parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and white parts
5 medium beets, thoroughly scrubbed and quartered (reserve and finely slice beet greens, if attached)
2 cups water
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound farfalle pasta
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the parsley pesto: Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the kosher salt until the water tastes like seawater and stir to blend. Add the parsley and cook for 1 minute, and then remove with a slotted spoon. Immediately plunge leaves into an ice bath and allow to cool, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the leaves slightly and then put them in the blender with the sugar and olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add some water to facilitate blending. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the scallions and set aside in a bowl large enough to hold the pasta.
  • For the beet vinaigrette: Put the beet pieces in a medium saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Allow it to reduce until there is about 1/4 cup liquid. Add the remaining 1 cup of water and reduce again until you have only 1/4 cup left. Season to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil.
  • For the pasta: In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt; the pasta water should taste like seawater. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting) 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving some pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later.
  • To serve: Pour the pasta into the bowl with the parsley pesto. Add the beet vinaigrette and butter and toss to blend. Add the Parmesan and finely sliced beet greens, if using. Serve immediately. Alternatively, you can drizzle the red beet vinaigrette over the pasta for a different color effect.

A tasty chicken dish with easy-to-prepare salad greens, cherry tomatoes and red capsicums (or red bell peppers). Rocket, mesculun or baby spinach leaves are ideal greens.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup stale breadcrumbs
2 eggs
4 chicken breast fillets, skinless
1/3 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
250 g rocket, trimmed
250 g yellow grape tomatoes or 250 g red grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium red capsicum (also known as red bell pepper)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced/325°F/3 gas mark.
  • Blend or process the nuts until they resemble a coarse meal; combine them in a medium, shallow bowl with the parsley and breadcrumbs; beat the eggs lightly in another medium shallow bowl and place the flour in another shallow bowl.
  • Halve the chicken pieces diagonally and slice though each piece horizontally; coat the chicken pieces in the flour and shake away any excess; dip each chicken piece in egg then in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick; cook the chicken in batches until it has browned on both sides; place the chicken on an oiled oven tray; cook in the oven, uncovered, for about ten minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • The Mustard Vinaigrette: make the mustard vinaigrette by combining all the ingredients in a screw top jar and shaking it well; combine the vinaigrette with the rocket, tomato halves and capsicum slices in a large bowl; toss the salad gently then serve it with the chicken.

Tips for Making Parsley Vinaigrette:

  • Use fresh parsley: Fresh parsley has a much brighter flavor than dried parsley, so it's worth the extra effort to find it. If you can't find fresh parsley, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried parsley, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Chop the parsley finely: Finely chopping the parsley will help it to distribute evenly throughout the vinaigrette.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the vinaigrette. For a light and refreshing vinaigrette, use a white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar. For a more robust vinaigrette, use a red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
  • Add some Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard helps to emulsify the vinaigrette and gives it a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use another type of mustard, such as yellow mustard or brown mustard.
  • Season to taste: Once you've made the vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar, depending on your personal preference.

Conclusion:

Parsley vinaigrette is a simple but flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, meats, and vegetables. It's also a great way to use up fresh parsley. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious dressing, give parsley vinaigrette a try!
