Whole Grain Linguine With Roasted Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• COOK pasta according to package directions.
• MEANWHILE, in a large skillet, saute minced garlic in olive oil until slightly yellow. Add cherry tomatoes and saute 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
• DRAIN pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
• TOSS pasta with cherry tomatoes, garlic and half the basil. ADD reserved cooking liquid to skillet and toss pasta again.
• TOP with grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper and remaining basil.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add roasted peppers and saute until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Place mixture in the bowl of a food processor with stock and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta. Process until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with sauce, adding pasta water by the tablespoon, if needed. Sauce should cling nicely to pasta. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide among pasta bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining feta cheese.

Steps:

• BRING a large pot of water to a boil.
• HEAT half of the olive oil in medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat.
• ADD onion and saute for 4 minutes or until translucent.
• ADD peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Add just enough hot water to cover the peppers; simmer for 12 minutes until peppers are tender and water is completely reduced.
• MEANWHILE, cook pasta according to package directions.
• DRAIN pasta and add to skillet with onions and peppers. Toss pasta with the remaining oil, basil leaves and cheese before serving.

Steps:

• Turn on the broiler and set a rack 6 inches from the heat. Toss the eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread it in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Broil, tossing once halfway through, until the eggplant is golden but not cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the broiler and heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Toss the peppers and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on another baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the eggplant, peppers and garlic until they are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Slip the garlic cloves from their peels and mash them in a small bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and the pepper flakes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss with the vegetables, the mashed garlic, the ricotta and the herbs. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta; cook according to package instructions until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat oil, red-pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add bell-pepper strips, and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Drain pasta well. Rinse with warm water; shake out excess. Return pasta to pot. Stir salt into bell-pepper mixture; add to pasta, and toss well to coat.
