Farfalle With Baby Spinach Walnuts And Ricotta 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 water to a boil.
• Add salt, and then add the farfalle.
• Cook until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the oil.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and, once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan; brown on all sides, and then add the onions and cook for a minute or two.
• Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and some salt and pepper.
• Sauté until all vegetables are tender.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the vermouth.
• Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, and then stir in the diced tomatoes (and a few tablespoons of juice), red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, basil, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until the flavors have developed (and chicken has cooked through).
• Add the spinach and cook until wilted down, about 2-3 minutes.
• Season to taste.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat.
• Off the heat, stir in the ricotta cheese.

Steps:

• 1. Start heating a large pot of water to boiling for the pasta. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes.
• 2. Stir in the spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and milk and cook until the sauce is creamy and heated through, about 4 minutes longer.
• 3. Meanwhile, cook the farfalle in the boiling water until just tender. Drain well. Transfer the spinach sauce to a large bowl, add the farfalle and basil, and toss to combine.
