PENNE WITH CARROTS, CHANTERELLES AND SAUSAGE



Penne With Carrots, Chanterelles and Sausage image

This recipe uses a method in which pasta is cooked like risotto. Sometimes the noodle is toasted first, but always the broth is stirred into the pasta as it cooks. The flavor is intensified and the dish makes its own sauce.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces medium-thick carrots, peeled
6 ounces chanterelles, brushed, trimmed and quartered if large
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 cups chicken stock
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 ounces Italian sweet sausage, casing removed, crumbled
12 ounces whole wheat or farro penne
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup pitted black olives, halved
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Grated Grana Padano, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Massage carrots and chanterelles with 3 tablespoons oil, spread on a baking sheet and roast about 25 minutes, until carrots are tender but not soft. Place stock in a saucepan and keep warm on a slow simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart sauté pan. Add onion and sauté on medium until it starts to brown. Add sausage meat, lower heat and cook, breaking it up with a fork until it loses its redness and is uniformly crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup stock to deglaze pan.
  • Stir in pasta. Cook on medium-low, stirring fairly frequently and adding stock 1/2 cup at a time as it's absorbed, until pasta is almost al dente, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Slice roasted carrots 1/2-inch thick and add them and the chanterelles to the pasta. Add remaining stock and season with salt and pepper. Add olives and parsley. The pasta should be quite moist but not soupy. Serve with cheese alongside.

ROASTED CARROTS AND SCALLIONS WITH THYME AND HAZELNUTS



Roasted Carrots and Scallions With Thyme and Hazelnuts image

I bought incredibly sweet, baby red onions - they look like thick red scallions - and multicolored bunches of carrots from a farmer at my market and roasted them with fresh thyme. Then I sprinkled on some crushed toasted hazelnuts, which contributed a nice crunchy texture and nutty finish to the dish. If you have a bottle of hazelnut oil or walnut oil on hand, a small drizzle just before serving is a welcome touch.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce hazelnuts (about 1/4 cup)
1 pound carrots, preferably young small carrots, any color (but a mix is nice)
1 bunch white or purple spring onions or scallions
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Optional: a drizzle of hazelnut oil or walnut oil for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until they smell toasty and they a're golden all the way through (cut one in half to check). Remove from the oven and turn up the heat to 425 degrees.
  • Immediately wrap the hazelnuts in a clean, dry dish towel. Rub them in the towel to remove the skins. Then place the skinned hazelnuts in a plastic bag or, if you have one, a disposable pastry bag and set on your work table in one layer. Use a rolling pin to crush the nuts by rolling over them with the pin. Set aside.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment or oil a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. If the carrots are small, just peel and trim the tops and bottoms. If they are medium- sized, peel, cut in half and cut into 4-inch lengths. Quarter large carrots and cut into 4-inch lengths. Trim the root ends and greens from the spring onions or scallions. If they are bulbous, cut them in half. Season with salt and pepper, add the thyme and olive oil and toss well, either directly on the pan or in the dish or in a bowl. Spread in an even layer in the baking dish or on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. The onions may be done after 10 minutes - they should be soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan if they are and hold on a plate. When the carrots and onions are tender and browned in places, remove from the oven. Add the onions back into the mix if you 've removed them and toss together. Sprinkle on the toasted ground hazelnuts, and drizzle on the optional nut oil, and serve.
