CRèME FRAîCHE PASTA WITH PEAS AND SCALLIONS



Crème Fraîche Pasta With Peas and Scallions image

Here's an easy weeknight pasta featuring crème fraîche, the richer, slightly less tangy cousin of sour cream. It's combined with Parmesan, lemon zest and starchy pasta cooking water for a sauce that is creamy, velvety and bright. Whole bunches of scallions caramelize until their edges char, lending sweetness and a hint of smoke, while raw scallions add color as a garnish. To preserve the brightness of the peas, throw them in the pasta cooking water at the very end and drain along with the shells. Plan appropriately, and the sauce and scallions can be prepared in the time it takes the pasta to cook.

Categories     dinner, easy, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and black pepper
3 bunches scallions (about 12 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound medium shells pasta
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
3/4 cup crème fraîche
1 lemon, zested (about 2 teaspoons zest), then quartered
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Trim the scallions. Thinly slice 1 or 2 scallions on the diagonal and set aside for garnish. Cut the remaining scallions into 1/2-inch-long pieces.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the 1/2-inch scallion pieces, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions start to caramelize, soften and brown in spots, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Once the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the Parmesan, crème fraîche and lemon zest; mix to combine. Stir in 1/2 cup of the hot reserved pasta water until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the charred scallions.
  • When the pasta is done, add the peas to the water and turn off the heat. Immediately drain the pasta and peas together, and add them to the sauce in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to combine, adding more reserved pasta water as desired to loosen the sauce to a silky texture. Season to taste.
  • Serve immediately. Divide among bowls and top with more pepper and reserved sliced scallions. Serve with the lemon wedges, for squeezing on top.

PENNE WITH CARROTS, CHANTERELLES AND SAUSAGE



Penne With Carrots, Chanterelles and Sausage image

This recipe uses a method in which pasta is cooked like risotto. Sometimes the noodle is toasted first, but always the broth is stirred into the pasta as it cooks. The flavor is intensified and the dish makes its own sauce.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces medium-thick carrots, peeled
6 ounces chanterelles, brushed, trimmed and quartered if large
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 cups chicken stock
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 ounces Italian sweet sausage, casing removed, crumbled
12 ounces whole wheat or farro penne
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup pitted black olives, halved
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Grated Grana Padano, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Massage carrots and chanterelles with 3 tablespoons oil, spread on a baking sheet and roast about 25 minutes, until carrots are tender but not soft. Place stock in a saucepan and keep warm on a slow simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart sauté pan. Add onion and sauté on medium until it starts to brown. Add sausage meat, lower heat and cook, breaking it up with a fork until it loses its redness and is uniformly crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup stock to deglaze pan.
  • Stir in pasta. Cook on medium-low, stirring fairly frequently and adding stock 1/2 cup at a time as it's absorbed, until pasta is almost al dente, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Slice roasted carrots 1/2-inch thick and add them and the chanterelles to the pasta. Add remaining stock and season with salt and pepper. Add olives and parsley. The pasta should be quite moist but not soupy. Serve with cheese alongside.
