Penne With Hazelnut Gremolata And Roasted Broccolini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Remove and discard the bottom half of the broccoli stems. Cut the remaining stems in half lengthwise up to the florets and pull the florets apart. (Don't cut through the florets!) Continue cutting all the stems and pulling the florets apart - you want to have about two inches of stem with whole florets attached. Place the broccoli on two sheet pans, drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, spread in one layer on each pan, and roast for 15 minutes until crisp-tender and the edges are starting to brown, tossing occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small (8-inch) saute pan over medium-low heat, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned. Add the panko, tossing to coat in the oil. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the panko is golden brown, tossing occasionally. Off the heat, add the pine nuts and lemon zest.
• Place the broccoli on a serving platter, sprinkle with the lemon juice, then the panko mixture, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss well. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• For the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, hazelnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and the salt. Mix well to combine.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the mushrooms, squash, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Spread the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes or until the squash is tender and beginning to brown. Remove the vegetables from the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Using a sharp knife, make 3 diagonal slashes on the skin side of each trout fillet. Season the fillets evenly with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and rub each one with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil.
• Place the fillets, skin side up, on top of the roasted vegetables. Broil for 8 to 9 minutes or until the skin is lightly browned and crisp and the flesh is cooked through but still moist.
• Place some of the vegetables on each serving plate and top with the fish. Serve topped with the gremolata.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Turn frequently to cook until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• Add half of the garlic to the bacon grease, and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broccolini, and continue to cook and stir for 3 or 4 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender but still bright green. Stir in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper. Add the pasta to the skillet, and stir to coat. Remove from the heat and mix in the Parmesan cheese, and crumble in the bacon. Toss again, and serve!

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add penne, and cook 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente; add broccoli. Cook 2 minutes or until penne is al dente and broccoli is bright green. Reserving 1/2 cup pasta water, drain pasta and broccoli; set aside.
• In the same pan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pasta water as needed to help loosen any browned bits from bottom of pan.
• Add penne and broccoli, and cook until warmed through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta mixture to a serving dish. Top with ricotta; season with salt and pepper.
