Broken Noodles Recipes

BROKEN LASAGNA WITH PARMESAN AND ALL THE PEAS

Steps:

• Break each noodle into 3 or 4 rough squares and add to a large pot of boiling generously salted water. (It's okay if a few smaller pieces break off in the process; add them to the pot too, along with any stray shards at the bottom of the box.) Cook, stirring occasionally and adding snow peas and shelled peas for the final 2 minutes, until al dente, 8-12 minutes. Drain pasta and peas, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, combine lemon zest and juice, Parmesan, butter, and 1½ tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add pasta, peas and 1 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid and toss, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed if mixture looks dry, until Parmesan and butter are melted and noodles are well coated. Add sugar snap peas; toss again just to combine.
• Divide pasta among shallow bowls and top with shaved Parmesan and cracked pepper.

BROKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms in the hot oil until slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add marinara sauce, tomato, olives, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, artichoke heart, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to mushrooms; bring to a boil. Simmer until tomato sauce is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over cavatappi. Pour tomato sauce over mozzarella layer; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

WHITE BEANS WITH SQUID AND BROKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, put half the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. A minute later, add the beans and their liquid. Bring to a boil, stirring, and add squid, along with some salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally.
• When water boils, cook the noodles until they are barely tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and add them to the simmering beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squid and noodles are tender, adding a little liquid if necessary. (Do not add liquid prematurely -- the squid will produce a lot on its own.)
• When just about done, add garlic. Cook it just long enough to take the edge off its rawness. Spoon the mixture into 4 dishes, garnishing with parsley and sprinkling with remaining olive oil.

BROKEN NOODLES WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring sauce and 2 cups water to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Add noodles, and simmer, stirring frequently, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt. Serve with a dollop of ricotta, basil, and pepper.

BROKEN LASAGNA PASTA

Steps:

• Bring 12 cups of salted water to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook for 12 minutes, adding shrimp and peas to water during final 2 minutes of cook time. Drain pasta mixture, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water in a glass measuring cup. Return pasta mixture to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring often, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Add onion mixture, pesto, salt, and pepper to the pasta mixture; stir to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring in reserved cooking water as needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached and mixture is heated through. Serve immediately sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

BROKEN NOODLE WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA
