PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Pasta Primavera With Asparagus and Peas image

This simple pasta primavera uses a combination of the earliest vegetables available in spring - asparagus, peas and spring onions - making it a true celebration of the season. The sauce works best with springy egg pasta, preferably homemade or a good purchased brand. Make sure not to overcook it; you need the chewy bite to stand up to the gently cooked vegetables. If you can't find good fresh English peas, you can substitute frozen peas, but don't add them until the last minute of cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound sugar snap peas, stems trimmed

3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Vegetables: Choose fresh, tender broccoli, snap peas, and asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare Vegetables Properly: Trim the broccoli and asparagus, and remove the strings from the snap peas. Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It adds a rich, fruity flavor to the vegetables.
  • Wrap the Vegetables Tightly: Make sure to wrap the vegetables tightly in the parchment paper packets to prevent steam from escaping. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and retain their moisture.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooking will make them lose their vibrant color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This recipe for broccoli, snap peas, and asparagus in parchment is a simple yet delicious way to enjoy these fresh spring vegetables. The parchment paper packets create a moist cooking environment that helps the vegetables retain their nutrients and flavors. This dish is perfect for a healthy side dish or a light main course.
