BROCCOLI PASTA



Broccoli Pasta image

Believe it or not, the star behind this 5-ingredient supper is overcooked broccoli! We over-steam it here to give the broccoli a delicate and creamy texture, making it perfect for mashing, mixing with pasta water and tossing with pasta.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into large florets
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set up a steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover and cook until the broccoli is soft and nearly falling apart but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and gently toss; season with salt and pepper, then mash.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to label directions, then reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain.
  • In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil for 30 seconds. Add the mashed broccoli, the Parmesan and half of the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring, until saucy. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the spaghetti, adding more cooking water as needed.

PASTA WITH GARLICKY SPINACH AND BUTTERED PISTACHIOS



Pasta With Garlicky Spinach and Buttered Pistachios image

If you want to get the timing just right on this one - no wasted time! - start the sauce a few minutes after you've dropped the pasta into the boiling water. Your spinach should be wilted right around the time the pasta is al dente. If that feels too stressful, or the spinach wilts before the pasta is ready, simply turn the heat under the skillet all the way down to low and keep it warm while the pasta finishes. Don't count this recipe out if you're not fond of capers. They add a hint of salty brininess without being in-your-face caper-y. A pound of pasta is a lot to toss around, especially with 2 bunches of spinach in the mix, so save that extra quarter-box for your next pot of pasta e fagioli.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and black pepper
12 ounces mezze rigatoni or other short pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained
12 ounces spinach, stems trimmed to 1-inch length, or Swiss chard, trimmed and chopped
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  • After pasta has been cooking for about 2 minutes, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pistachios, garlic and capers and cook, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add spinach to skillet one handful at a time, season with salt and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to the skillet along with 1/2 cup pasta water. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, tossing, until liquid reduces and coats the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with Parmesan.

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI AND MUSHROOMS



Spaghetti with Broccoli and Mushrooms image

This spaghetti dish is very easy to prepare and you can also substitute other types of pasta for a change. I have also used half broccoli and half spinach for a nice change. Crusty French bread and a garden salad make this a delicious meal.
