Best 4 Pappardelle With Sage Butter Sauce Roasted Acorn Squash And Pan Seared Scallops Recipes

PAPPARDELLE WITH BROWN BUTTER SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.
• Add the pappardelle and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 6-7 minutes).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Let it cook for a minute or two until the butter is just lightly golden colored (don't let it go too long, or the butter will burn!). Immediately add the sage to skillet and let it sizzle for a second, then turn off the heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the skillet and swirl to combine. Set the pan aside off of the heat.
• When the pasta is done cooking, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta in a colander.
• Put the drained pasta back in the pot and place it on the stove over medium-low heat. Pour roughly 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid over the pasta, and then pour the brown butter sage sauce over the top. Stir gently to combine, and let it cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, until the sauce nicely coats all noodles.
• Divide the pasta up into two serving bowls and top each one with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper, and Maldon sea salt. Serve right away.

PERFECT ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
• To prepare the squash, use a sharp chef's knife to slice through it from the tip to the stem. I find it easiest to pierce the squash in the center along a depression line, then cut through the tip, and finish by slicing through the top portion just next to the stem. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits inside, and discard those pieces.
• Place the squash halves cut side up on the parchment-lined pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the squash, and sprinkle with the salt. Rub the oil into the cut sides of the squash, then turn them over so the cut sides are against the pan.
• Bake until the squash flesh is very easily pierced through by a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of your squash. Add any desired toppings, and serve warm.

PAPPARDELLE WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then put the peas in a colander and drain the pasta over the peas.
• Place the empty pot over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to melt. Add the radishes, shallot and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the radishes are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta and peas along with the spinach, herbs, lemon juice, 3/4 cup reserved cooking water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, tossing, until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is lightly coated, gradually adding more of the reserved cooking water if needed.
• Mix the ricotta, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Serve over the pasta.

PAPPARDELLE WITH SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Rinse and pat dry the scallops. Slice in half on equator and pat dry again. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and set aside.
• Prep all of your ingredients and have them at ready, then start pasta. Cook the pasta approximately 8 minutes. If the pasta is done before prepping all the ingredients, add 3 cups cold water into pot to hold. (Water will still be hot, but will arrest cooking.) Drain when ready to use.
• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the scallops, cook for 1 to 2 minutes and turn over. When scallops are just cooked, remove from heat and set aside, keeping them warm. Let the juices in pan reduce for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Toss to combine. Add in the reserved scallops and half of the truffle oil. Add in the drained cooked pasta, then the arugula and gently toss or stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with remaining truffle oil, the shaved cheese and some freshly cracked black pepper.
