Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large bunch medium-thick asparagus (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound orecchiette
One 10-ounce box frozen peas, thawed, or fresh shelled peas
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
Pea tendrils, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and let it sizzle a minute. Add the asparagus and toss to coat in the oil. Cook and toss until the asparagus just begins to soften, about 5 minutes (add a splash of pasta water if the garlic is in danger of burning). Cover with a lid.
  • Uncover the asparagus, and at the same time add the orecchiette to the pasta water. Add the peas to the asparagus and season with the salt. Toss to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallions, stir, and add 1 1/2 cups of pasta water. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • When the pasta is al dente, remove with a spider directly to the sauce. Add the parsley, drizzle with some olive oil, and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, adding a little pasta water if it seems dry. Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with the grated cheese, toss, garnish with pea tendrils and serve.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BUTTERMILK, PEAS, AND PISTACHIOS



Orecchiette with Buttermilk, Peas, and Pistachios image

We're throwing this pantry pasta all-star a "Welcome to Summer" party with peas and mint. This dish was inspired by Rolf and Daughters in Nashville, where chef Philip Krajeck makes a fermented pasta cloaked in a tangy whey and butter sauce. We use store-bought buttermilk to mimic whey's acidic flavor. It's a perfect foil for the rich butter and cheese in this glossy sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup pistachios
12 oz. orecchiette
Kosher salt
12 oz. peas (such as shelled fresh or frozen English and/or halved sugar snap)
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium leeks, white and pale green parts only, cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 small bunch mint, divided
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 oz. Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely crush with a measuring cup or glass.
  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water 6 minutes, then add peas and cook until pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium heavy pot over medium. Cook leeks, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 3 mint sprigs, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft but not browned, 6-8 minutes; season with salt. Add buttermilk; bring to a simmer. Pluck out mint; discard.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta and peas to leek mixture. Add 3 oz. Parmesan; cook, stirring vigorously and adding a little pasta water if needed, until sauce is creamy and coats pasta, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Pull leaves from remaining mint sprigs, tear into pasta, and toss. Divide pasta among bowls. Top with pistachios and Parmesan; drizzle with oil.
