Provided by Brian Boitano

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 red bell peppers
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
8 ounces dried rigatoni
1 baby eggplant (about 6 ounces) stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the oven 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler.
  • Put the peppers on a baking sheet and put it under the broiler. Roast, turning the peppers with tongs a quarter turn every couple of minutes, until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
  • Using a paper towel, rub the charred skins off the peppers. Carefully remove the cores, stems, and seeds, and slice the pieces lengthwise into thin strips. Reserve any liquid the peppers release.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute; drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and return the pasta to the warm pot.
  • Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook until brown and just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the roasted peppers with any reserved liquid, asparagus, sausage, and vinegar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the sausage mixture to the warm rigatoni and add the Parmesan, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Taste the pasta and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (16-oz.) jar roasted red peppers, drained, finely chopped (about 1¾ cups)

ORZO WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS & ASPARAGUS



Orzo With Roasted Red Peppers & Asparagus image

Quick vegan dish I threw together last night... I love orzo pasta simply prepared with margarine, salt and pepper. Since I didn't want to eat just that for dinner, I decided to add some veggies that I had on hand as well. I used a 12 oz bag of frozen asparagus from Trader Joes, thawed for 5-6 minutes in the microwave, and then chopped into 1" pieces. Trader Joe's frozen asparagus tends to become very mushy, VERY fast, so keep an eye on it in the microwave, and add it to your skillet at the last minute. Spices were kind of a mix and match. I use a mix called Sandwich Sprinkle from Penzey's Spice Company, as well as basil and thyme.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large red bell peppers
1 ½ (16 ounce) packages rigatoni pasta
1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ½ tablespoons butter
6 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 ½ cups milk
2 ¼ cups packed shredded fontina cheese
3 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
salt and pepper to taste
2 (5 ounce) packages arugula - rinsed, dried and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 4 quart baking dish.
  • Roast peppers on a gas grill or under broiler until blackened on all sides. Place in plastic bag for 10 minutes to loosen skins. Peel and seed peppers; slice into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes; add asparagus and artichokes and cook 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl; toss with olive oil.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Cook until sauce thickens, whisking frequently, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Fontina cheese and 2 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over pasta and stir in arugula and red bell peppers. Pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic produce whenever possible.
  • Roast the Red Peppers Properly: Roasting the red peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast them until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. You want it to be tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: A good quality olive oil will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from fresh, ripe olives.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.
