PASTA WITH PUMPKIN & PESTO



Pasta With Pumpkin & Pesto image

I like things that are quick & easy to prepare & this is no exception. This is a nice quick meal. I usually use a chunky pasta like vegeroni or penne and you can cut down the fat by using light evaporated milk if you like, I usually do. For a vegetarian meal just leave out the bacon. Much to my amazement this was even a hit with my 17 month old daughter. Tastes great cold too so could be a pumpkin pesto pasta salad!

PUMPKIN SEED PESTO PASTA WITH CHICKEN



Pumpkin Seed Pesto Pasta with Chicken image

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 1/2 cups lightly packed kale leaves
1 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan, plus more for garnish
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pound linguine pasta

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the kale leaves in the boiling water for 15 seconds, and them transfer them to a sieve. (Leave the boiling water on the stove to use for the pasta.) Using a spatula, press the kale leaves firmly into the sieve to release as much water as possible. Transfer the kale leaves to a blender.
  • Add the toasted pumpkin seeds, Parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper to the blender and pulse briefly to combine the ingredients. With the blender running, stream in the olive oil and continue blending, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed, until the mixture is a smooth puree. Set the pesto aside.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Rinse and thoroughly dry the chicken breasts. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Add the butter to the heated pan. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and allow them to cook until they naturally release from the pan. Flip the chicken breasts once and continue cooking until they reach 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and are no longer pink.
  • While the chicken cooks, add the linguine to the pot of boiling salted water and cook until al dente, 9 to 11 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the pesto to the bowl, tossing to combine. Slice the seared chicken breast and serve it alongside the pasta.

BACON PUMPKIN AND PESTO PASTA



Bacon Pumpkin and Pesto Pasta image

In this recipe, the ingredients are tossed into the pasta, rather than forming a sauce. Great for a quick and easy mid-week meal with salad. I use Kent or Jap pumpkin, available in Australia, and free-range bacon. You can make your own pesto, or buy it ready-made. I like the Sacla brand. Recipe adapted from "Australian Good Taste" magazine.

PASTA WITH PUMPKIN SEED PESTO



Pasta With Pumpkin Seed Pesto image

Fragrant with basil and rich with pumpkin seeds and cheese, this is the ideal dish to make ahead of time and pack for lunch. Instead of preparing it to eat as a hot meal or a cold salad, it's designed to be chilled and then enjoyed cold or at room temperature. Cooking the garlic quickly in the water boiled for the pasta softens its sharp edge. A splash of that same boiling water blends with the basil to keep it green. . Rinsing the pasta after cooking it helps the pesto stay flavorful for days in the refrigerator. The tomatoes add a tangy freshness, but they can be skipped altogether or swapped for green beans or peas (just drop them with the pasta during the last few minutes or cooking).

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 pound fusilli or other short, curly pasta
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, plus more for sprinkling
1 large bunch basil (4 ounces), leaves and tender stems picked (3 cups)
2/3 cup/2½ ounces finely grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Drop the garlic cloves into the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds to temper their sharpness. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cloves to a food processor or blender.
  • Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, add the pumpkin seeds and a pinch each of salt and pepper to the garlic, and process until very finely ground. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the basil. Scoop 1/4 cup water from the saucepan with the boiling pasta and pour over the basil. Process the basil until ground to a paste. Add the Parmesan and oil, and pulse just until incorporated. Taste the pesto and season with enough salt and pepper to make it punchy.
  • Drain the pasta and rinse under cool water until room temperature. Shake dry, then return to the saucepan, and add the pesto and tomatoes, if using. Stir well until everything is evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among dishes to serve right away or airtight containers to pack for lunch. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and Parmesan, and serve, or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
