BROKEN SPAGHETTI RISOTTO



Broken Spaghetti Risotto image

This pasta dish is not really risotto; it only refers to the similar technique used in that famous Italian dish. Like the grains of Arborio rice, pieces of broken pasta are tossed in hot butter or oil before the liquid is added, but here we're going even further, and toasting it to a gorgeous nut-brown. This gives the dish its signature look, as well as adds a subtle nutty flavor.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken into 1 inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt to taste
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package dried mixed wild mushrooms or porcini mushrooms
1 quart chicken stock
2 cups water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup hazelnuts
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, a few handfuls
4 cups arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
  • Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute. Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches. Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock. Pasta will cook up quicker then rice. Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock. When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant. Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
  • When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
  • Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.
  • NOTE Oven Roasted Chicken Tenders Saltimbocca may be sliced and served atop or as a first or second course to meal.
