Leek Prosciutto And Cheese Empañadas Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile: heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add leeks and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Add chicken broth and cooked pasta and simmer 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat and sprinkle goat cheese over top just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180c.
• Place stock, sherry, thyme and peppercorns in a baking dish.
• Wrap leek with prosciutto.
• Place in dish with other ingredients and dot with butter.
• Cover and bake for 40minutes.
• Uncover dish and bake for 5 more minutes to crisp prosciutto.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, about 5 inches from heating element; heat broiler. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper in medium bowl until well combinedm about 30 seconds. Set aside eggs.
• Heat butter in 12-inch nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides. Add leeks and 1/4 teaspoons salt; reduce heat to low and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8-10 minutes. Stir prosciutto, basil, and half of goat cheese into eggs; add egg mixture to skillet and cook, using spatula to stir and scrape bottom of skillet, until large curds form and spatula begins to leave wake but eggs are still very wet, about 2 minutes. Shake skillet to distribute eggs evenly; cook without stirring for 30 seconds to let bottom set.
• Distribute remaining goat cheese evenly over frittata. Slide skillet under broiler and broil until frittata has risen and surface is puffed and spotty brown, 3-4 minutes; when cut with a paring knife, eggs should be slightly wet and runny. Remove skillet from oven and let stand 5 minutes to finish cooking; using spatula, loosen from skillet and slide onto platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.
• While pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add leeks; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peas; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To drained pasta, add leek mixture, remaining 3 tablespoons butter, lemon juice, and prosciutto; season with salt and pepper. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time, tossing, until a thin sauce coats pasta. (You may not need all the water.) Serve, sprinkled with ricotta salata.
