Pasta With Broccolini And Feta Recipes

ONE POT PASTA WITH FETA AND BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to package directions, and scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water just before draining.
• Heat the olive oil in the same pot over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until it turns golden. Add the broccolini, season with salt and the red pepper flakes (easy on the salt; the feta is salty), and sauté for 4 minutes until just crisp tender. Pour in the broth and the reserved ½ cup cooking water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 minutes, until the broccolini is just as tender as you like, then stir in the drained pasta, feta and lemon zest. Toss until combined and serve hot, with additional red pepper flakes as desired.
• Top each serving with a fried egg if desired.

BAKED FETA AND BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Cut broccoli florets into quarters and place in a baking dish. Drizzle 1/2 cup olive oil and salt and pepper over the broccoli. Toss to coat the broccoli in the oil. Make a space for the brick of feta in the middle of the broccoli and place it there. Drizzle more oil and black pepper on the top of the feta.
• Bake in the oven at 400F for 35 minutes. While the feta and broccoli bakes, prepare a half a pound of pasta. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water from the cooked pasta.
• Remove the feta and broccoli from the oven and immediately stir to combine. Pour in some of the pasta water until its your desired creaminess. Add the warm cooked pasta into the pan and stir again. Finish the dish with the lemon juice, lemon zest and fresh basil. Stir once more to fully combine and serve.

• Add pasta to the same pot and cook until al dente, about 8 to 11 minutes, depending on the type of pasta.
• While pasta is cooking, heat extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until garlic is lightly brown. Remove and set aside.
• When pasta is cooked, drain. Return cooked broccolini to the pot. Pour prepared olive oil over pasta and vegetables. Add salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
• Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.
