2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces white mushrooms, washed and sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally
1 medium summer squash, sliced diagonally
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed

12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • For the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli; cook for another minute. Add the red peppers; cook 1 minute more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  • To the skillet, add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and squash, and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the other vegetables. Set aside.

PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH FRESH LINGUINE



Pasta Primavera with Fresh Linguine image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
5 large eggs
Salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
8 ounces asparagus, woody ends trimmed, chopped
3/4 cup peas
Handful green string beans, chopped
2 garlic scapes, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
Salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 cup grated Parmesan
Big handful of fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • For the fresh pasta: On a clean work surface, make a mound with the flour, then create a well. Pour the eggs into the well and use a fork to gradually flick the flour into the eggs, whisking in thoroughly as you go. Once all of the flour and eggs have been incorporated into a very shaggy dough, form it into a ball with your hands. Knead the dough, dusting with more flour if the dough is too sticky, or moistening your hands with water if the dough is too dry, until it has the texture of smooth leather, about 5 minutes. Wrap it in plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 25 minutes to rest.
  • Use your pasta machine to roll out the dough and cut fresh linguine, following the pasta machine's instructions. Dust with flour and cover the freshly-cut noodles with a damp towel while you work, and until ready to cook.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, and season with a handful of salt.
  • For the sauce: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and once it melts, add the asparagus, peas, string beans, garlic scapes, onions and a pinch of salt. Cook just until the onions soften and the scapes are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and chicken stock and cook to reduce, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the fresh pasta to the pot of boiling water, and cook until the pasta is just al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pasta and transfer to the pan with the primavera sauce, then transfer everything to a serving bowl. Toss everything to coat, and taste for seasoning. Garnish with fresh Parmesan and basil and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your dish is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be cooked through but still slightly crisp.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add a rich flavor to the dish.
  • Season the dish to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. This will brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Linguine primavera with creamy cashew sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light and healthy meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
