Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
2 ounces pine nuts
⅓ cup golden raisins
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the peppers in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs, then place the peppers cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, swirling the pine nuts in the skillet until they turn a light tan color and have a nutty fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Slice the roasted peppers into strips, and arrange decoratively onto a serving platter, alternating red and yellow strips. Sprinkle the peppers with toasted pine nuts, raisins, garlic, and parsley, drizzle with olive oil, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

RED PEPPER GARGANELLI WITH PINE NUTS PASTA RECIPE



Red Pepper Garganelli With Pine Nuts Pasta Recipe image

Learn how to make garganelli with sweet red peppers and pine nuts, using the method of finishing mostly cooked pasta in a pan of sauce.

Provided by Tasting Table Staff

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 sweet red peppers
¼ cup olive oil
4 anchovy fillets in oil, minced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup dry white wine
4 leaves kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 pound garganelli
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or broiler to high. Grill the red peppers, turning often with tongs, until blistered and blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, roast the peppers directly over the stovetop flame of a gas oven. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 20 minutes. Peel the peppers and chop them into ½-inch pieces.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped red peppers, then add the white wine. Boil until the pan is nearly dry. Stir in the kale and chili flakes. Remove from the heat.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, and drop in the pasta. Cook for about 9 minutes or until the pasta is tender. You will be cooking it further in the sauce. Drain, reserving some of the pasta water. Return the sauce to medium-high heat and stir in the pasta. Cook for 5 minutes, to allow the flavours to mingle. Add a spoonful of pasta water if the sauce looks too dry. Remove from the heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Add the pine nuts and parsley and toss well. Tip into a large serving bowl, garnish with an over-generous grating of Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve immediately.

FASTA PASTA GORGONZOLA WITH SPINACH, RED PEPPERS AND PINE NUTS



Fasta Pasta Gorgonzola With Spinach, Red Peppers and Pine Nuts image

Chances are you have all of the ingredients for this pasta dish on hand, in your refrigerator and cupboard. That's how it came together in my kitchen, and what a felicitous combination of flavors it turned out to be. Plus it goes together in a half hour or less. Be sure to use a milder blue cheese so it doesn't end up overwhelming the other flavors. You could substitute broccoli for the spinach, and you could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish (use vegetable broth instead of chicken). This goes well with a dry white or medium-bodied red wine.
