JUICY PESTO PASTA!



JUICY Pesto Pasta! image

Recipe video above. This is how to make a great pesto pasta that's slick with pesto sauce without adding tons and tons of oil which makes it overly oily. The secret is using the pasta cooking water - it emulsifies with the oil in the pesto which makes it cling to every strand of pasta. A technique used in every Italian household! Make this with homemade pesto for the best flavour.

Categories     Mains     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quantity homemade pesto ((Note 1))
300 - 350 g / 10 - 12 oz pasta of choice ((ziti, penne and spaghetti are my favourites, Note 2))
2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pasta cooking water
Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil with the salt.
  • Add pasta and cook for the length of time per the packet.
  • Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of of the pasta cooking water.
  • Drain pasta in a colander, leave it for a minute.
  • Transfer pasta to a bowl (do not use pasta cooking pot, too hot).
  • Add pesto and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss to coat pasta in pesto, adding more water if required to make pasta silky and saucy, rather than dry and sticky.
  • Taste, add more salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parmesan.

Provided by Kemp Minifie

Categories     Pasta     Potato     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Corn     Green Bean     Zucchini     Mandoline     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini (about 1/2 pound total)
1/2 pound boiling potatoes, peeled
3/4 pound rotini or penne
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 ears corn, kernels cut off (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes (12 to 14 ounces)
1 cup Kemp's pesto
Accompaniment:
Toasted bread-crumb topping for pasta
Equipment:
an adjustable-blade slicer with 1/4-inch julienne attachment

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini into thin rounds with slicer. Fit slicer with julienne attachment and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks.
  • Start cooking rotini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) according to package instructions. Six minutes before pasta is done, stir in potatoes and green beans. Two minutes before pasta is done, stir in corn and zucchini.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add tomatoes and cook, covered, shaking skillet once or twice, until tomatoes wilt, split, and release some juices, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and scoop into a small bowl.
  • Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta with vegetables.
  • Put pesto in a large bowl and whisk in enough reserved cooking water to thin to a sauce, 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Add pasta mixture and toss to coat. Thin with more cooking water and season with salt if necessary. Serve immediately, with tomatoes and bread crumbs on the side.

Provided by Mindy Fox

Categories     Pasta     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Basil     Pine Nut     Herb     Small Plates

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound pasta
Kosher salt
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons pine nuts, divided
5 cups (loosely packed) basil leaves (about 2 ounces), plus more for serving
1 garlic clove, peeled, cut in half
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 2 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, toast 2 Tbsp. pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat, shaking skillet back and forth, until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes; set aside.
  • Blanch 5 cups basil in a small pot of boiling water 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer to a large bowl filled with ice water.
  • Purée garlic, oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/3 cup pine nuts in a blender until nuts are very finely chopped and mixture is creamy. Using your hands, lift basil from ice water, shaking off excess but not all water from leaves (a bit of water will aid emulsification). Add to blender and purée just to combine. Add 1 cup Parmesan; purée just to combine.
  • Transfer pesto to a medium bowl, then stir in reserved pasta cooking liquid. Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl or platter and toss with pesto. Top with Parmesan and reserved toasted pine nuts and garnish with basil.

PASTA WITH CHOPPED PESTO AND PEAS



Pasta With Chopped Pesto and Peas image

This pesto doesn't call for a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle - and it's better for it. Instead, all of the elements are chopped and mashed together by hand. (Pesto means "to pound, crush or smash" in Italian.) In Tuscany, this would be done with a half moon-shaped mezzaluna, but a chef's knife does the job, too. The result is a more textured mix with bright pops of flavor, like a sauce, herb salad and nut garnish in one. Basil and pine nuts are classic choices, but this version, "I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To)," by Ali Slagle (Clarkson Potter, 2022), was guided by the pesto ratio in "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" by Samin Nosrat. It works with whatever soft herbs and nuts that you like and have on hand.

Categories     weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup raw walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, almonds or a combination
2 ounces Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 large garlic clove
2 packed cups soft herbs, such as basil, parsley, mint or arugula
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound curly pasta, such as casarecce or fusilli
2 cups (10 ounces) frozen peas

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small or medium skillet over medium, toast nuts, shaking the skillet occasionally until browned (try one to see), 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • As the nuts cool, into a large bowl, grate the Parmesan on the small holes of a box grater (or pulse chunks in a blender).
  • Add the garlic clove and a pinch of salt to the pile of nuts and coarsely chop the nuts and garlic together. Add a handful of the herbs and another pinch of salt, and coarsely chop. (Opt for forceful, purposeful chops as opposed to soft, timid ones.) Toss and smash the mixture every few chops. Repeat with the remaining herbs, salting at each step, until a wet, coarse paste forms. Stir into the cheese, then stir in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the peas to the pasta. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain. Add the pasta and peas to the pesto and stir to combine. Add pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, more oil and more Parmesan.
