Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
1 pound corkscrew pasta
1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill leaves
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
7 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse. Set aside.
  • In another large pot of boiling salted water, add the asparagus and blanch until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or a spider and shock in icy cold water. Remove from the water and dry well.
  • Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut into bite-size pieces on the bias.
  • Whisk together the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Combine the reserved asparagus and pasta in a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, dill, peas, feta, and the mustard dressing. Toss with tongs to coat the salad well. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

LEMON-GARLIC PASTA SALAD WITH GRILLED CHORIZO



Lemon-Garlic Pasta Salad With Grilled Chorizo image

This is a great summertime lunch dish. I created it at my parents summer home in West Hampton Dunes, NY in summer 2010. Great on it's own or with a side salad. Since it can be served at room temperature, it is a wonderful picnic item or for an al fresco lunch. You could also serve this vegetarian by mixing in a drained and rinsed can of cannellini beans instead of sausage.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 lb penne
black pepper, freshly ground
6 chorizo sausages, grilled
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. About 1 minute before the pasta is done, take about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid out of the pan before you drain the pasta. Reserve this liquid.
  • Meanwhile, chop the garlic cloves with the coarse salt and smash it into a paste. (This takes away any strong burn of raw garlic.) Mix the garlic with the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, tomatoes, pepper and oregano.
  • Toss the hot pasta into the lemon-garlic sauce. As you toss the pasta through, add some of the cooking liquid little by little until it forms a sauce, you probably won't need all of the pasta water. Mix in the cheese. Taste for seasoning, add a bit more salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
  • Slice the cooked sausage into bit size pieces and mix it into the pasta. Let the pasta sit covered for 5 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
