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.

PASTA WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS, ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN



Pasta with Sugar Snap Peas, Asparagus and Parmesan image

Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian     Spring     Sugar Snap Pea     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound bow-tie pasta
1/2 pound sugar snap peas or snow peas, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fleshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add asparagus to large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until just crisp-tender. Transfer to bowl of cold water using slotted spoon. Cool asparagus slightly and drain. Add pasta to same pot of water and boil until just tender but still firm to bite. Add sugar snap peas and boil 2 minutes. Add asparagus and heat through. Drain will. Return pasta-vegetable mixture to pot. Add oil and toss to coat. Add 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, passing additional cheese separately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. Look for sugar snap peas that are bright green and crisp, mushrooms that are firm and not slimy, and Parmesan cheese that is freshly grated.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. The pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: When draining the pasta, reserve some of the cooking water. This water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives. This will add a fresh, flavorful touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

This pasta with sugar snap peas, Parmesan, and mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
