Carrot Farfalle Pasta With Lemon And Herbs Recipes

PASTA WITH CARROTS, SAGE, AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Bring a big pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. When it's done, drain and put back in the pot to keep warm.
• While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes (more or less depending on how thinly they are cut). Add the scallions and sage to the pan and stir around for a couple minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the pasta is still cooking, set the skillet off to the side and keep warm.
• Add the butter and lemon juice to the drained pasta and stir until the butter is melted and everything is combined well. Divide the pasta among 4 serving plates and top with the carrot mixture. Serve garnished with the cheese.

ONE-POT PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND LEMON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook until pasta is just under al dente and broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes more. Drain, then add pasta and broccoli back to pot.
• Toss with garlic, oil, lemon zest and juice, and cheese. Serve, topped with more cheese.

FARFALLE WITH FRESH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until al dente according to the package instructions, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and whisk in the goat cheese until smooth and warm. Season with pepper. Add the lemon zest and juice and half of the reserved pasta water and whisk until combined. Add half of the parsley, dill, mint and chives.
• Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add 1/2 cup of the Pecorino Romano and stir to combine. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with the remaining pasta water if needed. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Divide the pasta among bowls and garnish with the remaining Pecorino Romano, parsley, dill, mint and chives.
