Farfalle With Artichokes And Prosciutto Recipes

FARFALLE WITH PIGNOLE, PROSCIUTTO, AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Toast pignole nuts in small frying pan. Add raisins to boiling water until plump, and drain. In large frying pan, heat oil and saute garlic. Add spinach and stir, cooking until wilted.
• Cook farfalle according to package directions. When done, drain and place farfalle in a large bowl with nuts, raisins, spinach mixture, prosciutto, salt and pepper, and grated cheese.

FARFALLE WITH ARTICHOKES, PEAS, FAVAS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Cut away the stem and the top third of each artichoke, break off the leaves and trim them down to the bottoms, placing them in the water as you go along. Quarter them and slice large quarters about 1/4 inch thick. Save the leaves and steam them; serve them as a first course or a side dish.
• Drain the artichoke hearts and dry on a clean dish towel. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy lidded skillet or Dutch oven. Add the sliced artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium, add the onions (or scallions) and cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the peas and favas, 2/3 cup water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Stir in the mint and remove from the heat, but keep warm while you cook the pasta.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and the pasta. Cook al dente, usually 10 to 11 minutes for farfalle. Add a ladleful of the cooking water from the pasta to the vegetable mixture and drain the pasta. Toss with the vegetables and serve, with Parmesan or Pecorino, or both.

FARFALLE WITH ARTICHOKES, MUSHROOMS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring six quarts of water to a boil. While it is coming to a boil, trim the artichokes. Slice off the top half-inch and slice the stem flush with the bottom. Pull off the two or three outermost layers of leaves, exposing tender, yellowish leaves. Quarter the artichokes vertically. As the artichokes are trimmed, toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
• When the water is boiling, add the artichokes and potatoes and simmer about 20 minutes, until both are tender. Scoop them out of the water with a skimmer or a slotted spoon and add the farfalle to the water. Increase the heat and boil the farfalle about eight minutes, until it is just tender. Drain it when it is done, retaining about a cup of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with one-third cup of the water to keep it moist.

Add the cooked farfalle and toss all the prepared ingredients together. Check seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. Add additional cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry.
