Marmies Asparagus Pea Pasta With Bacon And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until bacon is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally while cooking. Drain the bacon grease from the pan, and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in asparagus and peas; stir occasionally and cook until the vegetables are slightly softened but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook and stir onion until translucent over medium heat in the same pan as bacon, about 5 minutes; stir in asparagus, peas, and bacon pieces.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the asparagus mixture; season with salt and black pepper.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and stir in the fettuccine; cook, stirring often, until fettuccine are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
• Stir hot fettuccine into the pan with asparagus mixture over medium-low heat and toss gently to combine.
• Stir in cream and bring mixture to a simmer.
• Sprinkle cheese blend over the mixture and allow to stand until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes; stir cheese lightly into the fettuccine and vegetables to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of the oil and the salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until the asparagus is tender, 10 to 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the bacon drippings, mustard, vinegar, honey and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until combined.
• To assemble: Plate the asparagus. Sprinkle with bacon and feta, and drizzle with Dijon dressing. Finish with flaky sea salt. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Tip in the pasta and cook for 1 min less than pack instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in the garlic, chilli and a pinch of salt, and fry for 1 min until fragrant. Add the asparagus and lemon zest, and cook for 4-5 mins until the asparagus is just tender.
• Drain the pasta and tip into the asparagus pan. Add the lemon juice, stir through the basil, grind over some black pepper, then divide between bowls. Top with the pine nuts, feta and a drizzle of oil to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Divide and toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange in a single layer on 2 to 3 separate large rimmed baking sheets.
• Place in the oven and roast until the spears are tender and the tips are turning golden and slightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Prepare the vinaigrette while the asparagus is roasting. To a bowl, add the Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
• Remove the asparagus from the oven and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mix the Parmesan, egg yolks, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus stalks. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus into thin wide ribbons. (The last strip of asparagus will be a little thicker than the others, but it is fine to use.) Set aside.
• Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water according to the package instructions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the drained pasta and asparagus and toss until well coated and mixed with the bacon.
• Whisk 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water into the egg mixture, then quickly pour it over the pasta and toss to gently cook the eggs and make a creamy sauce. Thin out the mixture with more pasta water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with the parsley and more Parmesan if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
• While the water is coming to a boil, slice snap peas and asparagus stems into 1/4-inch-thick pieces; leave asparagus tips whole.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add snap peas, asparagus, English peas and onion. Cook until vegetables are barely tender (but not too soft or mushy), 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Drop pasta into boiling water and cook until al dente (1 to 3 minutes for fresh pasta, more for dried pasta). Drain well and transfer pasta to a large bowl. Immediately toss pasta with vegetables, Parmigiano-Reggiano, crème fraîche and herbs. Season generously with salt and pepper, if needed.

Steps:

• Place penne in a large pot of rapidly boiling, salted water. When pasta is about 2 minutes from being done, add the asparagus and peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta and asparagus are cooked. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid. Drain pasta and return to the pot. Place the pot over low heat.
• To the pasta and veggies, add only as much water as is necessary to create a nice "sauce". Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the garlic, cheese, olive oil, and oregano and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• PATTIES: Drain liquid from salmon and reserve for sauce.
• Remove bones and skin, and flake salmon.
• Mix all patty ingredients together.
• Form into 4 patties.
• Dip both sides in flour.
• In frying pan, heat oil and fry patties over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides- about 10 minutes.
• SAUCE: While patties are cooking, place peas in colander and rinse with hot water to defrost.
• Drain In saucepan or skillet, melt butter; with whisk, stir in flour.
• Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup reserved salmon liquid and milk, whisking to form a creamy sauce.
• Add dill, salt and pepper, stirring constantly over medium heat until mixture gently boils and thickens.
• Stir in the pea and cook 30 seconds to warm.
• Do not cook peas.
• Place patties on individual plates and spoon the sauce over.
• ***Note: If you prefer, you can place the salmon mixture in 4 greased muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
• If using this method, omit the first two recipe ingredients (oil and flour).
• VARIATION: You can substitute lightly steamed fresh asparagus for the peas.
• If using asparagus, do not put in sauce.
• Place asparagus over salmon patties and spoon sauce over both.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted to a boil. Meanwhile, cut sliced bacon crosswise into thin slivers, or slice pancetta into julienne. Add pasta to boiling water and cook to taste.
• While pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter. Add bacon or pancetta and a sprinkling of pepper, and fry until golden and crisp. Immediately add frozen peas and stir for a minute or two. Add crème fraîche or heavy cream and chopped mint.
• Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta. Add pasta to the skillet and stir. Add lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. The mixture should be thick; if desired, a splash of the pasta water may be added to the sauce to thin it slightly. Add Parmesan and stir to mix. If desired, serve with a green salad.
