Spaghetti with Broccoli and Mushrooms image

This spaghetti dish is very easy to prepare and you can also substitute other types of pasta for a change. I have also used half broccoli and half spinach for a nice change. Crusty French bread and a garden salad make this a delicious meal.

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI AND WALNUT-RICOTTA PESTO



Spaghetti With Broccoli and Walnut-Ricotta Pesto image

This spaghetti sauce is a creamy, pungent walnut-thickened pesto that is thinned out with a small amount of cooking water from the pasta. Break up the broccoli florets so the flowers are quite small. They will absorb the sauce in the nicest way when you toss everything together.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 garlic clove, cut in half, green shoot removed
2 tablespoons shelled walnuts (about 3/4 ounce)
1 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh ricotta
2 tablespoons warm water
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus additional for sprinkling (Pecorino can be substituted for some of the Parmesan)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
Salt to taste
1/2 pound broccoli crowns, broken into small florets
1 pound spaghetti
About 1/4 cup pasta cooking water (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, turn off and scrape down the bowl. Add the walnuts and basil and process to a paste. Add the ricotta, 2 tablespoons warm water, and Parmesan and pulse until well blended. Add the olive and walnut oils and process until smooth and homogenous. You can also make this in a mortar and pestle. Taste and add salt as desired. Transfer to a wide pasta bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and boil 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and continue to boil until the pasta is al dente, about 4 more minutes. Before draining the pasta, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add 1/4 cup of it to the ricotta mixture and stir until well blended. The sauce should have a creamy consistency (add more of the pasta water if necessary). Drain the spaghetti and broccoli and toss at once with the sauce. Serve, passing Parmesan or Pecorino on the side.

PASTA WITH WALNUTS



Pasta With Walnuts image

From Mark Bittman's "Quick and Easy Recipes" from the New York Times. This is like a winter pesto, with a higher percentage of walnuts and parsley (always available) filling in for summer's basil. If you have basil though, by all means use it.

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb linguine (or spaghetti or other long pasta)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 cup walnut halves (or pecan halves)
1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh parsley (or basil leaves)
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the nuts, parsley and garlic in a small food processor (or use a mortar and pestle) and turn the machine on. With the machine running, add the oil gradually, using just enough so that the mixture forms a creamy paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. When it is ready, drain it--reserve some of the cooking water--and toss with the sauce; if the mixture appears too thick, thin with a little of the pasta-cooking water or more olive oil.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or wilted.
  • Roast the broccoli: Roasting broccoli brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast it in a hot oven until tender and slightly charred.
  • Use a variety of walnuts: You can use regular walnuts, toasted walnuts, or even candied walnuts in this recipe. Each type of walnut will add a different flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for this dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to lose its texture and flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with roasted broccoli and walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted broccoli has a slightly charred flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce and crunchy walnuts. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
