LEMONY LINGUINE WITH SPRING VEGETABLES



Lemony Linguine with Spring Vegetables image

Instead of cooking pasta in a huge pot of water, here we use just 3 1/2 cups for this one-pot pasta recipe. When the pasta is al dente, most of the water has evaporated and the bit that's left is thickened with the starch that cooks off the pasta. With just a few add-ins like lemon and Parmesan cheese you have a delicious silky sauce. Want to use up your veggie stash in the freezer? Swap in 8 ounces frozen spinach for fresh.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA



Whole Wheat Pasta image

Fresh, healthy and very delish... I sometimes make this the traditional style, and when in a hurry, I throw all the ingredients into my mixer, with the kneading hook.

Provided by Gia

Categories     100+ Pasta and Noodle Recipes     Noodle Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
  • Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.
