Green Beans With Ricotta Salata Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic and discard. Add the Swiss chard and cook until wilted. In batches, add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the beans and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the pasta, 1/2 of the cheese, and lemon zest. Toss well and thin out the sauce with a little pasta water, if needed.
• Transfer to a large serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat one Frigidaire Gallery® Double Wall Oven to 425°F. 2. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the green beans with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast until crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add more lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper to taste if desired. 4. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat on the Frigidaire Gallery® Induction Cooktop. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts are toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute more. 5. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly in a serving dish and top with the green beans. Sprinkle the shallot-walnut mixture on top. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Wash the greens, but do not dry. Trim the large stems and coarsely chop. Set aside.
• Warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 4 minutes longer. Add the greens, chicken broth, soy sauce, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the greens have wilted and become tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked greens to a serving plate and crumble the ricotta salata cheese over the top.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of cold water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and trimmed beans. Cook until beans are just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and immediately plunge beans into an ice-water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, pat dry, and place in a large bowl along with ricotta salata and basil leaves.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
• Pour vinaigrette over bean mixture and toss well.

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• 2. Add the peas, asparagus tips, haricots verts, and green onions and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. (If you're using frozen peas, you can throw them in during the last couple of minutes, to thaw.) Drain, transfer to a bowl of salted ice water to stop cooking, and drain again. Puree the rest in a food processor with the ricotta, a drizzle of oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set it aside until ready to use.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• 4. Make the bruschetta by cutting thin slices of the baguette. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bake in a hot oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and rub with peeled garlic cloves while still warm.
• 5. To serve, spoon the garden puree onto the toasted bread. Garnish with a large shaving of ricotta salada and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook beans in boiling water with 1 1/2 tsp salt, about 4 minutes, until just tender; drain and immerse in an ice bath; drain, pat dry and place in bowl with cheese and basil leaves.
• Whisk mustard, vinegar, oil, remaining 1/8 tsp salt, and pepper until oil is emulsified; pour over beans and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Toss tomatoes and lemon juice in a large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Top toasts evenly with tomato mixture and ricotta salata, then drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). If using a grill, arrange green beans in a grill basket and place on hot grill. Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. If using a grill pan, cook green beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip ricotta, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Spread whipped ricotta on a serving platter and arrange charred green beans over. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

Steps:

• Prepare a large ice-water bath; set aside. Fill a stockpot with water; bring to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. Add the green beans and wax beans to the boiling water, and cook just until they are crisp-tender and their color brightens, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking and to preserve the color. Drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the larger beans in half lengthwise. Set aside in a large bowl.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the shallots, capers (if using), vinegar, and a pinch of salt; let stand 15 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add the olive oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the peppers as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline. Add to the bowl with the beans. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper. Just before serving, tear the basil and mint leaves into small pieces, and crumble the ricotta salata. Stir the herbs and cheese into the salad.

Just before serving, tear basil and mint leaves into small pieces, and crumble ricotta salata. Stir herbs and cheese into salad, and serve.

Steps:

• To prepare the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar and shallots in a bowl. Whisk in the oils. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the haricots verts and cook until they are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and dry thoroughly in a dish towel.
• In a large bowl, combine the beans, arugula and dressing. Toss well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Using a cheese plane, shave the cheese into the bowl in paper-thin slices. Toss gently to break the cheese up slightly. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Scatter the olives around the salad.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens (you may have to do this in two batches). After the water returns to a boil, boil two to four minutes until the greens are tender. Using a deep-fry skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer them to the ice water. Do not drain the hot water in the pot, as you'll use it to cook the pasta. Drain the greens, squeeze dry and chop.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the garlic, cook for about a minute just until fragrant, and stir in the greens. Toss in the hot pan for about a minute, just until the greens are lightly coated with oil and fragrant with garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
• Place the ricotta in a large pasta bowl. Bring the water for the pasta back to a boil, and add the pappardelle. Cook al dente. Ladle 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta into the ricotta and stir together. Drain the pasta, and toss with the ricotta, greens and cheeses. Serve at once.
