Categories     Entree

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
Salt
3/4 lb uncooked pastina, orzo, riso or stelline
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups frozen green peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped prosciutto or bacon, cooked until very crisp, well drained
1/2 cup fresh carrot juice

Steps:

  • Bring the broth to a low simmer in a saucepan.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and cook briefly until light brown. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, lower the heat to medium, and cook until the onion is soft but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the simmering broth and bring to a boil. Add the pastina; stir well, and reduce the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer, ladling in the broth 1/2 cup at a time as the previous addition is absorbed, and stirring occasionally to prevent the pastina from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is about three-fourths done, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and the remaining simmering broth and cook until the peas are tender and the pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter, the oregano, thyme, Parmesan, and 3 tablespoons of the bacon. Stir well. The consistency should be quite loose, like a thick soup.
  • During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the carrot juice. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until just melted. Top with remaining bacon.

PASTINA RISOTTO WITH ROASTED TOMATO AND PEPPER SAUCE



Pastina Risotto with Roasted Tomato and Pepper Sauce image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield approximately 48 small bites

Number Of Ingredients 19

Kosher salt
1 pound pastina or other small pasta shape, *see note
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup chicken stock, canned low-sodium chicken broth, or water
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Roasted Tomato and Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
6 cups firmly packed spinach leaves, large stems removed, torn
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
3 red peppers, cored and cut into large pieces
10 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pastina and cook for half the time recommended on the package. The pasta should still be very firm in the center as it will be cooked more.
  • Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. (You can prepare the pasta to this point up to 8 hours ahead; refrigerate it until you are ready to finish the dish).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the garlic and saute until browned. Add the oregano and cook briefly to release its fragrance, then add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the partially cooked pasta, and stir to coat. Add 1 cup stock or broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the Roasted Tomato and Pepper Sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, then stir in the spinach to wilt. Thin, if desired, with some of the reserved pasta water. Remove from the heat, place in serving spoons and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Serve warm.
  • Note: If you don't have any small pasta shapes in the pantry, you can grind spaghetti in your food processor until it's reduced to short lengths.
  • Put the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
  • Smash the tomatoes with your hands and put them and their juice to a large bowl. Add the peppers, garlic, oil, vinegar, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and mix the ingredients well. Pour out onto a shallow baking pan and place the pan on the middle rack of the oven under the broiler for 15 minutes. Give the mixture a good stir and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  • Puree the mixture in batches in a blender. (Do not fill the blender more than half full and hold a kitchen towel firmly over the blender lid while pureeing. Hot liquids can expand causing the lid the pop off and the hot liquid to splatter.) If not using right away, allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  • Yield: about 4 1/2 cups

RISOTTO WITH PEAS AND PANCETTA



Risotto With Peas and Pancetta image

Easy to make and all in one pan. My kind of recipe. I have not tried this yet, but as soon as I get the thick-cut bacon, I am going to try it. Can be a nice meal or a heavier side dish. This is a recipe from USAWeekend and is by Nigella Lawson.

Provided by frostyprecious

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons oil garlic-flavored olive oil
6 ounces cubed pancetta or 6 ounces diced thick-cut bacon
1 1/4 cups frozen baby peas
8 ounces orzo pasta
2 1/2 cups boiling water
salt
1 tablespoon soft butter
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
pepper

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a heavy pan that will take everything later; a Dutch oven or saucepan of 10 inches diameter should be plenty big enough.
  • Add the pancetta and cook, stirring until it becomes crisp and bronzed, then add the peas and stir for a minute or so until the frozen look leaves them. If using thick-cut bacon and there is too much oil in pan, i think i would pour off until 2 Tbsp left before adding the peas.
  • Add the pasta and turn it about in the pancetta and peas, then pour in the boiling water.
  • Add salt cautiously (the pancetta and bacon are salty as is the Parmesan later); then turn down heat and let simmer for 10 minutes uncovered, though check on it a couple of times and give a stir or two, to stop it from sticking and see if you need to add a little more water.
  • When it's ready, the risotto should be soft and starchy and the water absorbed.
  • Beat the butter and Parmesan cheese into the pan, check the seasoning, and serve warm.
  • Note: to make garlic flavored oil, add a peeled garlic clove to regular olive oil and cook until golder,discard garlic, use the oil.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to make your risotto. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Toast the rice in a little olive oil before adding the liquid. This will help to bring out the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the peas, prosciutto, and Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help to warm them through and prevent the prosciutto from becoming tough.

Conclusion:

Pastina risotto with peas and prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy risotto is packed with flavor from the peas, prosciutto, and Parmesan cheese, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
