Whole Wheat Fettuccine With Potatoes Prosciutto And Peas Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT FETTUCCINE WITH ROASTED TOMATOES, PEAS AND FRESH MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray, and set aside.
• Toss the tomatoes, oil and salt together. Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the skins blister and turn dark brown in places, 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large serving bowl.
• In a blender, combine the red wine, 1 teaspoon salt, the red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, canned tomatoes (plus juices). Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 minutes.
• Toss together the pasta, tomato sauce, roasted tomatoes, peas and chopped basil. Arrange the cheese on top and serve.

WHOLE-WHEAT FETTUCCINE WITH POTATOES, PROSCIUTTO, AND PEAS

Steps:

• In a large kettle of boiling salted water cook the potatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices or into 1/4-inch dice, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are tender, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving the water for cooking the fettuccine. In a large heavy skillet cook the garlic, the onion, the red pepper flakes, and the rosemary in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is soft and add the broth, the wine, and the peas. Simmer the mixture for 3 minutes, or until the peas are tender, and stir in the prosciutto, the potatoes, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the reserved water in the kettle to a boil and in it cook the fettuccine until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and in a large bowl toss it with the potato mixture and the Parmesan.

Add the garlic, the Brussels sprouts, the water, the scallion, the bell peppers, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Stir the pasta into the vegetables and keep the mixture warm. In a small skillet cook the remaining 5 tablespoons butter over moderate heat, swirling the skillet, until it is browned, add it to the pasta mixture with the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the mixture well.
