Almost As Simple Pasta With Parmesan Herbs And Fresh Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Saute garlic in butter or olive oil with herbs until garlic is soft but not browned.
• Toss with hot pasta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
• Herb suggestions: Italian seasoning. Fresh or dried basil. Fresh or dried Rosemary. Herbs de Provence. Fresh or dried basil and oregano in combination. Fresh or dried parsley. Fresh or dried parsley, oregano, and basil. Italian seasoning with a pinch of crushed, red pepper. Fresh chives. Fresh parsley and fresh chives.
• Tip -- Dried herbs, especially rosemary, may benefit from being re-hydrated in a tablespoon of water or white wine.

Steps:

• For the pasta: You can prepare the dough either using a stand mixer or by hand.
• Using a stand mixer: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, add the flours and mix to combine. Add the eggs and mix on medium speed until the dough come together and forms a ball. If the dough is dry, add a little water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Reduce the speed to low and mix until the dough is smooth, about 6 minutes. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• By hand: On a wooden table or in a bowl, create a volcano shape with the flours. Then make a large hole in the middle. Break the eggs inside of the volcano. Whip the eggs with a fork to create a uniform color (until you can't see the difference between egg yolk and egg white). Then, little by little with the tips of your fork, start to incorporate the flour, starting from the center and moving out (never break or pass beyond the volcano). If the dough is dry, add a little water, 1 teaspoon at a time. When the mixture is uniform, use your hands and knead the dough until smooth. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
• Flour the table and roll out the dough until very thin (until you can just see your hands through the dough). For pappardelle, roll the dough up into a log, lightly flouring the dough as you roll it. Slice into about 1-inch-thick slices. Unroll the slices and lay out the strips flat onto a floured sheet tray until ready to cook.
• For the sauce: When ready to cook the pasta, bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a pan, bring the vegetable stock to a simmer. Add the butter and cooked pasta. Season it with freshly milled black pepper and salt. At the very end, add the Parmigiano-Reggiano little by little, stirring it in as you go. Garnish with fresh herbs and more cheese.

Steps:

• Put pasta into a microwavable dish large enough to give you a little room for stirring and tossing.
• Dot pasta with butter or drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Add plenty of fresh-ground, black pepper.
• Heat in microwave on high 3 to 5 minute at a time, stirring frequently, until thoroughly hot.
• Serve, passing the pepper grinder at the table.
• You can add 1-2 cups of cooked meat (chicken, turkey, and ham are all especially good), and/or 1-3 cups pre-cooked, chopped vegetables. I particularly recommend broccoli, zucchini, onions, and/or green, snap, or snow peas.

Steps:

• Heat unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the chicken broth, milk, and fettuccine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
• Stir in Parmesan. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
• Serve immediately, and top with parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
• In a skillet, saute garlic in oil on low heat, just hot enough to make the garlic sizzle; about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with basil, oregano, parsley, and crushed red pepper, and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, toss cooked pasta with garlic and herb mixture, and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, then add pasta. Cook until al dente.
• Just before pasta is done, heat oil in a large skillet. Add pepperoncini and half of the garlic; toss to heat through.
• Reserve 1 cup of pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta.
• Add pasta to skillet and stir. Add just enough reserved pasta water to moisten; stir in garlic and herbs. Stir in cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with more olive oil and shaved Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep skillet. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and cut into small chunks.
• Add remaining oil, butter, and garlic to the skillet and begin cooking over low heat. Add cilantro and basil and stir to keep the mixture moving. Slowly add cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Cook, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning, for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Drain pasta and return to the pot. Pour in sauce and toss to coat.
