Farfalle With Artichokes And Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Toast pignole nuts in small frying pan. Add raisins to boiling water until plump, and drain. In large frying pan, heat oil and saute garlic. Add spinach and stir, cooking until wilted.
• Cook farfalle according to package directions. When done, drain and place farfalle in a large bowl with nuts, raisins, spinach mixture, prosciutto, salt and pepper, and grated cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until evaporated slightly, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the fontina and cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the prosciutto.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the spaghetti to the skillet along with the peas and Parmesan. Stir until well coated, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook farfalle according to directions to al dente. Set aside saving some pasta water. Saute the defrosted artichokes with thinly sliced garlic in the olive oil for 4-5 minutes. While artichokes are sauteing, cut the prosciutto into thin slices, then add to the artichoke mixture. Add pinch of pepper flakes. Saute an additional minute. Add the pasta and stir into artichoke mix with enough pasta water or some chicken stock to make moist. Serve topping liberally with pecorino romano

Steps:

• Boil farfalle to package directions leaving it al dente. Put olive oil and minced garlic in a cold fry pan. Bring up to the heat to medium. Saute garlic, but do not brown it. Add the defrosted artichokes and gently stir them to coat with oil. Saute the artichokes for approx. 5 minutes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cut the proscuitto into long pieces and add to artichokes. Heat through an additional two minutes. Add the chicken broth to the mixture and top with the cooked pasta. Heat through, toss and plate. Top generously with pecorino romano.

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Cut away the stem and the top third of each artichoke, break off the leaves and trim them down to the bottoms, placing them in the water as you go along. Quarter them and slice large quarters about 1/4 inch thick. Save the leaves and steam them; serve them as a first course or a side dish.
• Drain the artichoke hearts and dry on a clean dish towel. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy lidded skillet or Dutch oven. Add the sliced artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium, add the onions (or scallions) and cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the peas and favas, 2/3 cup water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Stir in the mint and remove from the heat, but keep warm while you cook the pasta.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and the pasta. Cook al dente, usually 10 to 11 minutes for farfalle. Add a ladleful of the cooking water from the pasta to the vegetable mixture and drain the pasta. Toss with the vegetables and serve, with Parmesan or Pecorino, or both.

Steps:

• Bring six quarts of water to a boil. While it is coming to a boil, trim the artichokes. Slice off the top half-inch and slice the stem flush with the bottom. Pull off the two or three outermost layers of leaves, exposing tender, yellowish leaves. Quarter the artichokes vertically. As the artichokes are trimmed, toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
• When the water is boiling, add the artichokes and potatoes and simmer about 20 minutes, until both are tender. Scoop them out of the water with a skimmer or a slotted spoon and add the farfalle to the water. Increase the heat and boil the farfalle about eight minutes, until it is just tender. Drain it when it is done, retaining about a cup of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with one-third cup of the water to keep it moist.
• Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes. Slice the mushrooms.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, add the mushrooms and garlic and saute over medium-high heat about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms have wilted. Add the artichokes and potatoes and stir over medium heat a few minutes, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the stock and soy sauce. Add the cooked farfalle and toss all the prepared ingredients together. Check seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. Add additional cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry.
• Transfer everything to a warm serving bowl, sprinkle the basil on top and serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
