4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
1/2 cup shelled fresh peas
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons mascarpone
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce), approximately, plus additional cheese for the table
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
1 medium-size zucchini, split and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 cup broccoli flowerets
1/2 cup green beans, preferably haricots verts, trimmed and cut 1 inch long
12 very thin asparagus, cut in 1-inch segments
1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3 sprigs basil, leaves only, chopped fine
4 fresh ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and cut in 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Whole basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring 1 gallon of water with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a boil. Let simmer until ready to cook the pasta.
  • In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, bring a quart of water with 1/2 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add the fresh peas and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, cool the peas under cold running water and drain again. Set the peas aside.
  • In the same saucepan, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, butter, Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook slowly over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, place 2 tablespoons olive oil and toast the pine nuts over high heat until light brown. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, green beans, asparagus and jalapeno pepper, and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas and set aside.
  • Warm the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and basil and cook slowly for 2 minutes. Do not allow the garlic to color. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix with the sauteed vegetables.
  • Just before serving, add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water, plunge the spaghetti into the water, stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until al dente. Drain and return the spaghetti to the pot. Add the reserved Parmesan cream sauce, the chives and half of the sauteed vegetable mixture. Toss well for two minutes and add a little additional Parmesan cheese if the sauce needs thickening.
  • Pour the spaghetti mixture into a warm bowl. Sprinkle the remaining vegetables over it. Decorate with basil leaves and serve grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

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.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH PRIMAVERA



Spaghetti Squash Primavera image

I'm not completely sure what to call this creation, besides yummy. I stopped back at my new favorite farm stand and picked up a small spaghetti squash and a couple beautiful fresh picked bell peppers. I decided to saute the peppers with some onion, zucchini and a bit of garlic and use that as a topping for the spaghetti...

Provided by April McIver

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small spaghetti squash
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 small zucchini, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato, diced
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Place cut side down on a plate and microwave 5 minutes, or until squash is tender. Poke it to test - the shell will still be hard, but it'll make a dent when poked. Flip them cut side up and set aside.
  • 2. While squash cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions, bell pepper and zucchini. When they start to get tender add garlic. Cook until they're as done as you want them, that's completely up to you. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash out of the shell, dragging it lengthwise to separate strands. Top the squash with the veggie mixture. Add some diced tomatoes, then a sprinkle of parmesan on top.

SPAGHETTI ALLA PRIMAVERA



SPAGHETTI ALLA PRIMAVERA image

Categories     Mushroom     Pasta

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 oz. button mushrooms, quartered
1 cup asparagus tips, blanched
1 cup small broccoli florets, blanched
½ cup frozen peas, blanched
1 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise, cut to 1" lengths, blanched
1 lb. spaghetti, cooked al dente
1 cup heavy cream
⅔ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp. thinly shredded basil
½ cup lightly toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 5 tbsp. oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add ⅔ of the garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus, broccoli, peas, and zucchini; cook 3 minutes. Add pasta, cream, Parmesan, and butter, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine; transfer to a platter. 2. Bring remaining oil and garlic, tomatoes, and basil to a simmer over medium heat; pour over pasta; garnish with nuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better your spaghetti primavera will taste. When vegetables are in season, they are at their peak of flavor and nutrition.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a light touch with the olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy fat, but too much of it can make your spaghetti primavera greasy. Use just enough to coat the vegetables and pasta.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to overseason, as you can always add more but it's difficult to take it away.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti primavera is best served immediately, while the vegetables are still hot and crisp. If you need to make it ahead of time, cook the pasta and vegetables separately and then combine them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti primavera is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. With a few simple tips, you can make a spaghetti primavera that is sure to impress your family and friends.
