ROAST PORK LOIN WITH PASTA



Roast Pork Loin with Pasta image

This recipe makes a delicious pasta sauce (which is considerably "lighter" and more subtle than a typical marinara) while roasting the loin. The results, when combined with a little pasta and a fresh green salad, make even me look like a competent cook. By the way, if you go to the trouble of bringing out the food processor for the tomatoes, put it to work on the vegetables as well. It speeds up the recipe and smoothes out the pasta sauce.

CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BASIL



Creamy Corn Pasta With Basil image

There's no cream in this wonderfully summery pasta dish, just a luscious sauce made from puréed fresh corn and sweet sautéed scallions, along with Parmesan for depth and red chile flakes for a contrasting bite. Be sure to add the lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end; the rich pasta really benefits from their bright, fresh flavors. And while this is best made at the height of corn season, it's still quite good even with out-of-season supermarket ears, or with frozen corn.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Fine sea salt
12 ounces dry orecchiette or farfalle
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 bunch scallions (about 8), trimmed and thinly sliced (keep the whites and greens separate)
2 large ears corn, shucked and kernels removed (2 cups kernels)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, more for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, more to taste
1/3 cup torn basil or mint, more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat; add scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and all but 1/4 cup corn; simmer until corn is heated through and almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, transfer to a blender, and purée mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to get a thick but pourable texture.
  • Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add butter and let melt. Add reserved 1/4 cup corn and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's O.K. if the butter browns; that deepens the flavor.) Add the corn purée and cook for 30 seconds to heat and combine the flavors.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add pasta and half the reserved pasta cooking water, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then add a little more of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in 1/4 cup of the scallion greens, the Parmesan, the herbs, the red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to taste. Transfer to warm pasta bowls and garnish with more scallions, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese, and tender cuts of meat to ensure the best flavor and texture in your pasta dishes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking pasta, make sure to use a large enough pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will result in mushy pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for the amount of time specified on the package, then drain it and immediately rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes a pasta dish special. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in your dish. If you're using a store-bought sauce, doctor it up with some fresh herbs, spices, or vegetables.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is an essential ingredient in many pasta dishes. Use a good-quality cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor. Grated Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella are all popular choices.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is hot and flavorful. If you need to make pasta ahead of time, cook it al dente and then toss it with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking together. When you're ready to serve, reheat the pasta in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Pasta is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a pasta dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a box of pasta and get creative!
