Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 large zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups chopped tomato
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Pierce the shell of the spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a microwave-safe dish; cook in microwave on High for 12 minutes. Set aside to cook until cool enough to handle. Slice in half lengthwise; remove the seeds. Use a fork to pull the flesh of the squash away from the shell and place into a large bowl; fluff with the fork to separate the strands as much as possible.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking and stirring another 3 minutes. Stir the zucchini and green bell pepper into the mixture; season with the Italian herb seasoning and black pepper. Pour the tomatoes into the skillet. Continue cooking just until the tomatoes are warmed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the squash to the skillet and toss until evenly mixed. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and toss again to serve.

TOASTED SPAGHETTI PRIMAVERA



Toasted Spaghetti Primavera image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, pastas, project, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup fresh English peas, shelled, shells reserved, or 1 cup frozen peas
4 cups snap peas
Fine sea salt
1 small Romanesco broccoli, cut into small florets
12 sugar snap peas
20 1-inch-long carrots, cleaned
4 thin asparagus spears
6 very small French breakfast radishes, trimmed
About 6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1 tablespoon minced green garlic
1 teaspoon chopped capers
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon red miso paste
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 pound bucatini
1/4 cup thinly sliced parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add pea shells and steep for 90 minutes. Strain and cool. Discard shells and reserve 2 cups of broth.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Drop the peas into the boiling water and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes (30 seconds if frozen). Using a strainer, transfer the peas to the ice water, then remove and roughly chop.
  • Return water to a boil. Boil the Romanesco and sugar snaps for 30 seconds; transfer to ice water with a slotted spoon. Boil carrots for 1 to 3 minutes and transfer them to the ice water. Save boiling water for the pasta, adding more water and salt as needed. Carefully separate the sugar snaps in half along their seams so that half of the peas remain hinged on each half of the shell.
  • Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice asparagus and radishes lengthwise. Spread on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil. Season with salt.
  • In a large saucepan set over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic, green garlic, capers, pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt. Sauté until fragrant but before the garlic browns, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the pea broth and the miso paste and bring to a boil. Add the peas, sugar snaps, carrots and Romanesco. Season to taste with salt, miso, lemon zest and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, break the pasta into 2-inch pieces and place on a baking sheet. Coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toast in the oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately transfer to the boiling salted water and cook until al dente. Transfer to the miso broth. Set over medium heat and stir until well combined and hot.
  • Portion the pasta and broth into 4 bowls. Top each with a few slices of asparagus and radish, a sprinkle of parsley and, if you choose, miner's lettuce or edible pansies. Drizzle with olive oil.
