Broken Spaghetti Risotto Recipes

BROKEN SPAGHETTI RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add spaghetti and toast, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic into spaghetti pieces and cook for 30 seconds.
• Pour in 1/2 cup broth and increase heat to medium high. Stir spaghetti and broth until all the liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this process until all of the stock is absorbed and noodles are desired tenderness, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Season spaghetti with salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Remove from heat.
• Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and parsley into spaghetti and serve.

OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN TENDERS SALTIMBOCCA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper, top each tender with 2 leaves of sage. Wrap each tender with a slice of ham. Coat the tenders liberally in olive oil, a couple of tablespoons.
• Arrange meat on baking sheet on parchment paper and bake until crispy and firm, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To serve, slice meat on bias and pile on Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts.
• Alternatively, skewer the tenders and serve with lemon wedges on a plate as first or second course.
• Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
• Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute. Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches. Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock. Pasta will cook up quicker then rice. Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock. When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant. Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
• When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
• Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.

BROKEN SPAGHETTI SOUP WITH ESCAROLE

Steps:

• In a medium soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. When it foams, add the pasta and cook until nutty, fragrant and deep golden brown. Transfer to a container to cool completely then cover and reserve.
• To the pot add the olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, and then add the garlic, onions and herb bundle. Season with some salt and pepper, and then sweat the vegetables until tender.
• Wilt the escarole into the onions and garlic and add some nutmeg. Add the stock and 2 cups water.

BROKEN FLORENTINE LASAGNA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter, whisk to combine, and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk the milk into the butter-flour mixture, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and cook for a couple of minutes to thicken. Stir in half the Parmigiano (about 3/4 cup). Set the sauce aside.
• Heat the EVOO in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the cracked clove of garlic and cook for a minute or two to release its aroma and flavor. Add the chard and cook, turning occasionally to wilt down, 2 minutes. Add the spinach a few handfuls at a time, wilting each batch before adding more. Season the greens with salt and pepper.
• Break the pasta sheets into large pieces. Toss them into the pan with the greens and give them a good stir to incorporate them. Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring again to incorporate everything evenly. Smooth the top down and sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup Parmigiano into the skillet. Cover the skillet with foil, transfer to the oven, and bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Remove the foil from the pan and let it finish cooking uncovered for about 15 more minutes to brown the cheese.
