PASTA WITH MINT AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Mint and Parmesan image

The pairing of pasta with mint and Parmesan is a good one. There is something about the lightly assaultive yet somehow sweet nature of mint that is unlike any other herb. Older cuisines use it occasionally, but it is rarely seen as a major player. In this dish, however, softened by butter and cheese, mint converts a basic but undeniably heavy combination into an easy yet complex pasta dish best described as refreshing. To the inevitable question, Can I use olive oil instead of butter? my answer is that you can, but you will completely change the nature of the dish; it won't be bad, but it won't be as good. Better, I think, to cut the butter back to two tablespoons. But because this sauce is cut with the pasta cooking water, the butter is spread nicely throughout, and it really isn't a huge amount per person.

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound cut pasta, like ziti or penne, or long pasta, like linguine or spaghetti
1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons), cut into pieces
1/2 cup chopped mint leaves
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. When it boils, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Drain pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
  • Toss pasta in a warmed bowl with 2 or 3 tablespoons cooking liquid, the butter, mint and half the cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve, passing remaining Parmesan at the table.

PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS



Pasta With Fresh Herbs, Lemon and Peas image

Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.

Tips for Making the Perfect Pasta with Peas, Cream, Parsley, and Mint:

- Use fresh or frozen peas for the best flavor. If using frozen peas, thaw them before cooking. - Cook the peas in boiling water for a few minutes, until they are tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside. - Use heavy cream for a richer sauce. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. - Add the parsley and mint to the sauce at the end of cooking, so that they retain their flavor. - Serve the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of peas, cream, parsley, and mint is refreshing and delicious. Serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.
