WHOLE WHEAT SPAGHETTI WITH GREEN GARLIC AND CHICORY



Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Green Garlic and Chicory image

This dish is inspired by a classic oil and garlic pasta. I've added chicory, a bitter green that is much loved in southern Italy but underused here. It's sold with lettuces in the supermarket, often called escarole or curly endive. Chicory contains a type of soluble fiber called inulin, which some studies suggest may have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

Time 20m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head chicory (also sold as escarole and curly endive lettuce)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced green garlic
1 dried red pepper, broken in half, or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
3/4 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
A generous amount of freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Meanwhile, remove the tough outer leaves of the chicory, and clean the remaining leaves of sand. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the chicory. Blanch one minute, then transfer to the ice water with a skimmer or slotted spoon (do not drain the water from the pot). Drain the chicory, squeeze out water and chop. Set aside.
  • Combine the olive oil, garlic and chili pepper in a large, heavy skillet. Heat over medium heat until the garlic begins to sizzle. Allow the garlic to sizzle for about a minute, but do not let it color. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside. If using a whole chili pepper, remove it and discard.
  • Bring the water back to a boil, and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente following the timing directions on the package. While the pasta is cooking, return the frying pan to medium heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle again, add the chicory. Toss together, season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
  • When the spaghetti is cooked al dente, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta water and add it to the pan with the chicory. Stir together well. Drain the pasta, and toss with the chicory and garlic. Serve, topping each serving with a spoonful of Parmesan.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Fresh, healthy and very delish... I sometimes make this the traditional style, and when in a hurry, I throw all the ingredients into my mixer, with the kneading hook.

Categories     100+ Pasta and Noodle Recipes     Noodle Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
  • Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.
