Farfalle With Chicken Mushrooms Spinach And Ricotta Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Add salt, and then add the farfalle.
• Cook until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the oil.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and, once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan; brown on all sides, and then add the onions and cook for a minute or two.
• Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and some salt and pepper.
• Sauté until all vegetables are tender.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the vermouth.
• Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, and then stir in the diced tomatoes (and a few tablespoons of juice), red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, basil, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until the flavors have developed (and chicken has cooked through).
• Add the spinach and cook until wilted down, about 2-3 minutes.
• Season to taste.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat.
• Off the heat, stir in the ricotta cheese.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms and sausage in butter until mushrooms are tender and sausage is browned and crumbly, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir spinach into mushroom mixture and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir ricotta cheese into mushroom mixture until well-mixed; add lemon juice. Pour mushroom mixture over fettuccine and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• While pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and saute for 2 minutes. Add the chicken, wine, and tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the drained cooked pasta, spinach, ricotta, and cream. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chopped onion and mushrooms for a few minutes; then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan. Simmer until the noodles are tender (about 8 to 10 minutes). Serve hot.

Steps:

• Drain the ricotta cheese in a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl until it is very dry. Transfer the cheese to a large bowl and set it aside.
• Cook the spinach in batches in a covered large soup pot with no additional water until the spinach has wilted. Drain it in a colander, and when cool enough to handle, squeeze the spinach as dry as possible with your hands to remove excess water. You should have about 2 cups of squeezed spinach.
• Chop the spinach coarsely, then purée it in a blender or food processor until it is very smooth. Transfer the spinach to the bowl with the cheese and stir in 1/3 cup of the grated cheese, eggs, mint, salt, nutmeg and pepper, and mix well. Begin adding the flour a little at a time until a soft dough is obtained and is not sticking to your hands.
• It is easier to form the gnocchi if the dough is refrigerated for several hours or overnight.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Using two soupspoons, shape heaping tablespoons of the dough into an oval or egg shape then gently slide the dough off the spoon onto the floured surface.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. With a spoon, scoop up about 8 to 10 gnocchi at a time and add them to the water. Boil them until they float.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large sauté pan and stir in the sage leaves. Cover the pan and keep the sauce warm.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer the gnocchi to the sauce tossing them gently until well coated with the sauce.
• Divide between 8 individual plates and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese. Serve hot.
