PASTA PISELLI

Steps:

• Fill a large stockpot with cold water and place over high heat.
• Pour olive oil in a large saucepan and turn the flame on low. Mince the garlic and add to olive oil, let cook until just starting to brown. Slice the onion and add to the garlic and olive oil. Add 3 anchovies to the pan and mash them until they disintegrate.
• Next, add the vegetable broth and white wine. Turn the flame up to medium-low, and allow the broth and wine mixture to reduce for a couple minutes.
• Take the head of cauliflower and peel away the green leaves. Cut off the stalks and discard. Chop the cauliflower crowns into bite-sized pieces, set aside. Add the chopped cauliflower to the onion/garlic mixture, and season with red pepper flakes, to taste. Reduce the heat back to medium, and let the cauliflower cook, stirring frequently.
• Snap the asparagus in half and cut into bite size pieces on the diagonal. Add the asparagus and the peas and cook for about 5 minutes. When the asparagus is almost tender, add the tomatoes. The tomatoes should stay chunky, so do not cook too long, or stir the sauce too much because the tomatoes tend to fall apart. Add toasted almonds and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat.
• When the pasta water comes to a rolling boil, add some salt and then the pasta. Keep the heat on high. Cook pasta until firm to the bite, al dente. Drain and transfer pasta to a warm bowl. Sprinkle with olive oil, and gently toss. Then add the sauce and gently toss again.
• Garnish with Parmesan or Romano and serve.

PISELLI ALLA ROMANA (ROMAN GREEN PEAS WITH PROSCIUTTO) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• In a medium pan over medium-low heat, sauté onion, garlic and prosciutto, in extra-virgin olive oil, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and prosciutto releases some of its fat, 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a brisk boil in a small pot over high heat. Add boiling broth, peas, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste to onion-prosciutto mixture. Stir, then increase heat to medium-high and bring liquid to a rapid boil. Cook until peas are tender, about 15 minutes. If pan gets too dry, add a little more stock. Garnish with parsley and serve with slices of crusty country-style bread.

AGLIO E OLIO WITH PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat. Add the chopped prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly, until crispy and deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate. Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the oil and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the peas, pepper flakes and 1/8 teaspoon salt and turn off the heat.
• Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions, about 9 minutes.
• Return the skillet with the garlic oil to medium heat. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add directly to the skillet with the oil. Sprinkle the bare pasta with 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and toss well to coat the pasta and form a creamy sauce. Add the remaining 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and up to 1/2 cup more pasta water to maintain a creamy sauce. Serve sprinkled with the crispy prosciutto, more Parmigiano-Reggiano and another drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

• Add peas and pasta; heat through. Serve soup with grated Parmesan cheese.

SPIEDINI ALLA ROMANA

Cut sandwich into four equal quarters, and place a 10-inch skewer through the center of each quarter. With a serrated knife, gently remove the crusts and discard.
