FARFALLE WITH ASPARAGUS, RED ONION, WALNUTS & BLUE CHEESE



Farfalle With Asparagus, Red Onion, Walnuts & Blue Cheese image

My girlfriend from Long Island,NY passed this recipe along to me. It was from "Newsday", her local newspaper. I would suggest following the recipe as written. I have used pinenuts & vidalia onions and the flavors fell flat. UPDATE 10/10, I have made it twice now, using walnuts and red onions makes a huge difference. I like adding the red pepper flakes for kick!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces farfalle pasta, small to medium in size bow tie any shaped pasta will work beautifully
1 lb asparagus, trim off tough ends, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cups red onions, chopped
1 cup walnuts, halved, toasted
1/2 cup blue cheese, substitute Gorgonzola for a bolder flavor
sea salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in plenty of salted boiling water according to the package directions. Three (3) minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, over medium heat, toast the walnuts in a large dry skillet until they are aromatic and lightly browned. CAREFUL not to burn. About 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Once cooled, either leave halved or do a rough chop but leave some big pieces.
  • Over medium heat, heat 2 T of olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 7-9 minutes. I prefer to cook longer until they are caramelized.
  • Toss the pasta & asparagus with the onion, walnuts and blue cheese. Stir in remaining 1T olive oil. Add salt & pepper, to taste.

I threw this together after wondering if blue cheese and tofu would go together well. The results were delicious! Non-blue cheese lovers can omit the cheese and still have a tasty dish.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND WALNUT BISCUITS WITH BLUE CHEESE BUTTER



Caramelized Onion and Walnut Biscuits with Blue Cheese Butter image

Categories     Salad     Cheese     Onion     Bake     Walnut     Kosher     Pastry     Butter

Yield makes 20 to 24 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 16

Caramelized Onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large yellow onion, minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1 large egg, beaten
2/3 cup whole milk
Blue Cheese Butter
4 to 5 ounces Point Reyes Original Blue or other blue cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: Heat the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to caramelize and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Lower the heat as needed to prevent burning. Stir in the thyme and remove from the heat. Let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix in with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the butter is the size of small peas. Add the caramelized onions and the walnuts and mix gently with your hands.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the egg mixture into the well, then mix gently with a rubber pastry scraper or spatula. The mixture will be shaggy; it will not come together into a smooth dough.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a cohesive dough. Do not overwork or the biscuits will be tough. Pat or roll the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, flouring lightly as needed to prevent sticking. Cut out the biscuits with a lightly floured 1 1/2-inch round cutter. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. You can gather and reroll the scraps once. Refrigerate the biscuits for 15 minutes, then bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • For the blue cheese butter: In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese and the butter with the back of a spoon until the mixture is spreadable.
  • Cut the warm biscuits in half horizontally and spread the bottom half with a little of the blue cheese butter. Replace the top half. Arrange on a platter and serve warm.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon or another powerful red wine from Bordeaux varieties.
