FIDEUà DE VERDURAS (GRILLED PASTA WITH VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or build a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium-high heat (about 425°F).
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze lemon juice into the water and add the lemon halves. Trim the artichoke stems, then cut about 1/4 inch off the tops of the leaves. Quarter the artichokes and scoop out any fuzzy chokes inside. Add the cut artichokes to the lemon water.
• Bring broth to a simmer in a large saucepan. Cover with a lid and take out to the grill along with the artichokes and the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a 12- to 14-inch paella pan or cast-iron skillet on the grill for 3 minutes. Add oil and heat for 1 minute. Drain the artichokes and add to the pan along with onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes (reserving the juice for another use if desired). Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Crush the tomatoes with your hand, adding them to the saucepan as you go. Season with salt and pepper. Add the basil and parsley sprigs (reserve the chopped herbs for later) and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook at a very low simmer for about 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
• While the sauce cooks, heat a large double-burner grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the pepper, squash, zucchini and onion with the remaining tablespoon olive oil, making sure to coat all sides. Sprinkle with salt and grill, turning once, until well-marked and crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the vegetable. Transfer the onion to a large mixing bowl. Transfer the pepper, squash and zucchini to a cutting board and cut crosswise into strips. Add to the bowl with the onion and cover with foil.
• Cook the penne in the boiling water according to package directions. Drain and add to the bowl with the vegetables. Remove the herb sprigs from the sauce and stir in half of the chopped herbs. Add to the bowl and toss to coat.
• Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the remaining chopped herbs and Parmesan.

5 STEP GRILLED VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat grill on high heat. Prepare pasta according to package instructions and set aside.
• Peel the red onion then slice into thick rounds. To keep the rounds intact while grilling, insert 2-3 toothpicks around the outside edge; set aside.
• While the grill is heating and pasta is cooking, whisk together olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetables to the bowl (peppers, eggplant and onion) and toss well to coat.
• Place vegetables on a single layer on the grill and cook until slightly charred and tender, about 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once. Keep the bowl and any reserved marinade next to your grill. When vegetables are done cooking, from the grill and place back in the bowl with the reserved oil mixture.
• When vegetables are cool enough to touch, remove from bowl and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces. Place back in the bowl with the reserved oil mixture along with the cooked pasta. Add cheese and basil then toss again. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled.

BASIL PESTO PASTA WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine basil, Parmesan, walnuts, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Slowly pour 1/4 cup oil through the feed tube; continue processing until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Combine portobellos, bell peppers, squash, scallions, and the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat.
• Oil the grill grates (see Tip). Grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Add zucchini "noodles" to the pasta during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. Drain the pasta and zoodles and place in a large bowl.
• Whisk 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water into the pesto. Pour over the pasta and toss to coat, adding more reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Add the grilled vegetables and beans; toss to coat well.

GRILLED-VEGETABLE PASTA WITH CUMIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a large shallow bowl, toss the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and garlic with 2 tablespoons of the oil, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of the black pepper.
• In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, cumin, and the remaining salt and pepper.
• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne rigate for about 13 minutes until just done. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the pasta water.
• Drain the penne and toss with 1 tablespoon of the reserved pasta water, the oil-and-lemon-juice mixture, and the vegetables. Add more pasta water if the pasta seems dry.
• Serve topped with some Parmesan cheese and pass additional Parmesan at the table. Enjoy!

PASTA WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blend olive oil and garlic in food processor. Salt eggplant slices and weight with plates so that they "sweat" out some of the bitterness. Slice peppers into large pieces and grill. When blackened, put in paper bag to steam. Grill sliced onion until blackened. Pat eggplant with paper towels to dry. Brush eggplant with some of the garlic oil and grill. Brush tomatoes lightly and grill. Add vinegar to the remaining olive oil. Cook pasta in salted water. Peel peppers and cut into bite sized pieces. Place in large serving or mixing bowl. Cut onions, eggplant and tomatoes into bite sized pieces and add to bowl. Tomato will be a bit "loose" and juices will run. Try to get as much of the liquids into the bowl as possible. When pasta is cooked al dente, drain and add to bowl. Add basil. Pour oil and vinegar over and toss everything together. Nothing about this recipe needs to be exact. For example, if there happens to be one beautiful large eggplant - use that instead of the two small ones. Leftovers are wonderful cold and even better brought to room temperature.
