No Cream Pasta Primavera Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute asparagus and carrots in oil until crisp-tender. Add tomatoes and garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Stir in the cheese, cream and pepper. Drain pasta; toss with asparagus mixture.

Steps:

• 1. Chop all the vegetables into bite size pieces. Chop the onion and garlic, mix everything together and toss with about 1/4 cup of olive oil, the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper (to taste). Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with heavy duty foil and spread the vegis on the sheet. Roast in oven for 10 minutes, stir and roast another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Boil pot of water and cook pasta of choice as directed. When it comes time to drain, reserve about 2 cups of pasta water, set aside. Add the vegis to the pasta, add the juice of lemon, lemon zest and balsamic vinegar. Toss all to coat. Add the pasta water, a little at a time to maintain the moisture you like. Add the parsley, toss again. Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir, then cook undisturbed in an even layer until one side is golden, about 4 minutes. (It's great if the butter browns, but decrease the heat if it threatens to get too dark.) Stir in the asparagus, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas, scallions and ½ teaspoon salt, then add the red-pepper flakes, oregano and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peas are warmed through and bright green, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white beans and the cream, lower the heat to medium, and let the cream come to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan and Dijon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water to the creamy beans to loosen as you like; the sauce will thicken as it cools. (You may need more water when you reheat any leftovers.) Serve in bowls topped with the nuts and a handful of basil leaves. Pass more Parmesan at the table.
