PENNE WITH PESTO



Penne with Pesto image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large bunch fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound penne rigate or other ridged small tube pasta

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, pluck the basil leaves from the stems (you should have about 2 cups leaves). Wash the leaves in a large bowl of cold water and dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Smash and peel the garlic.
  • Put the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil and process until the pesto is smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the cheese. Season with the salt and some pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the penne and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and save about 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the bowl. Use tongs and toss with enough of the cooking water so the pesto coats the pasta evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
  • Upgrades: a. Make the pesto creamy by adding 1/4 cup ricotta cheese when processing the basil, garlic, and pine nuts. This is great with tortellini or ravioli. b. Top dressed pesto pasta with 1/2 pound diced large or halved small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), 3 medium tomatoes cut in large chunks, and 1/2 cup pitted black olives, (we like kalamata for this), roughly chopped. c. Add cooked 1 to 2 cups chicken or shrimp.
  • Twists on Pesto: In place of basil, try the following combination: 1 cup parsley, 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves. Substitute walnuts for the pine nuts

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed

1 1/2 cups walnuts
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Sardo
1 teaspoon salt
l large clove
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • To prepare the penne:
  • In a large saucepan of salted boiling water blanch the sugar snap peas for 45 seconds, or until they are crisp-tender, transfer them with a skimmer to a large serving bowl, and toss them with 1/2 cup of the pesto. In the boiling water cook the pasta until it is al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta-cooking water, and drain the pasta in a colander. In the bowl with the sugar snap peas toss the pasta with the reserved pasta-cooking water, 1/4 cup of the remaining pesto, or to taste, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • To make the pesto:
  • In a food processor combine the arugula, the walnuts, the Parmesan or Sardo, the salt, and the garlic and pulse the motor until the walnuts are chopped fine. With the motor running add the oil in a stream and blend the pesto with hot cooked pasta, potatoes, or vegetables. The pesto keeps, chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 2 weeks. Makes about 2 cups.

PENNE WITH PEA PESTO, SUGAR SNAP PEAS, AND PECORINO



Penne with Pea Pesto, Sugar Snap Peas, and Pecorino image

Categories     Sauce     Pea     Spring     Summer     Kosher     Raw     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Pea Pesto
3/4 cup shelled English peas (from about 3/4 pound fresh peas)
1 small clove garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino cheese, plus more for topping
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound dried penne or other short pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup shelled English peas (from about 1 pound fresh peas)
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, ends trimmed, halved crosswise
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the pea pesto: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the peas and blanch for 30 seconds, or a little longer if the peas are large. Drain and cool quickly in ice water, then drain again. Place the peas in a food processor with the garlic, mint, pecorino, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until well chopped. With the motor running, add the olive oil through the feed tube. Puree until the pesto is nearly but not completely smooth. A slightly coarse texture is pleasing.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the English peas and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of the boiling pasta water. Simmer until the peas are almost tender, about 5 minutes, adding more hot pasta water if necessary. Add the sugar snap peas and sauté until they lose their raw taste, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Set aside about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Return it to the hot pot and add the braised peas, pea pesto, and several grinds of black pepper. Toss well, moistening with some of the reserved pasta water. Divide among 6 warm bowls. Top each portion with a little grated pecorino. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay or another medium- to full-bodied white wine.
