PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Pasta Primavera With Asparagus and Peas image

This simple pasta primavera uses a combination of the earliest vegetables available in spring - asparagus, peas and spring onions - making it a true celebration of the season. The sauce works best with springy egg pasta, preferably homemade or a good purchased brand. Make sure not to overcook it; you need the chewy bite to stand up to the gently cooked vegetables. If you can't find good fresh English peas, you can substitute frozen peas, but don't add them until the last minute of cooking.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound sugar snap peas, stems trimmed
1/2 pound asparagus, ends snapped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh English peas
1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onion, white part only (or use shallot)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
Black pepper, more as needed
12 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle, preferably fresh (see recipe)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, at room temperature
1/2 cup crème fraîche or whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon

ASPARAGUS, PEA AND SAFFRON RISOTTO (WITH SHRIMP) RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Asparagus, Pea and Saffron Risotto (with Shrimp) Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small shallot, chopped finely
1 cup carnaroli (or arborio) rice
1/2 cup dry white wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 healthy pinch of saffron* (about 3/4 teaspoon)
Juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup grated parmigiano reggiano
1 cup fresh asparagus (3-4 spears), cut into quarter-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas (don't thaw)
salt, to taste
grated parmigiano reggiano for garnish
lemon zest for garnish
about a scant 1/4 tsp of tumeric can be used in place of saffron (less expensive and adds a pretty color)
4-5 large raw shrimp, tails removed (optional)

Steps:

  • If using shrimp, use 2-3 large pieces per serving. Remove the tail, place in a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil, a splash of white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, one small clove of freshly minced garlic, and a little salt and pepper and set aside. Heat chicken stock in medium saucepan. In a separate saucepan, heat garlic and and shallots in olive oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add rice and stir to coat for a few seconds. Add wine and a half cup of chicken stock. Stir frequently until liquid is mostly absorbed, then add another half cup of stock and saffron. Allow to absorb, and then add another half cup of stock, repeating the process until the stock has been mostly absorbed (about 20-25 minutes). Rice should be tender but slightly firm, and risotto should have a thick creamy consistency. Meanwhile (within 10 minutes of the risotto being ready): In a small skillet, heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 small pat of unsalted butter. Saute the asparagus until just al dente--about 7 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, cook the shrimp until pink-- about 2 minutes per side. Once the risotto is finished, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice**, lemon zest, parmigiano reggiano, asparagus and frozen peas. Add salt to taste. Garnish with grated cheese and lemon zest. Top with shrimp, if serving. **add about 1/2 the lemon juice, and taste. Add more, if you prefer for the lemon citrus taste to come through.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young peas and asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
  • If using frozen peas and asparagus, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To save time, you can use a pre-made cream of mushroom soup.
  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the casserole for a cheesy twist.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower.
  • Serve the casserole with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Peas and Asparagus Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender vegetables, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
