Pasta Frittata With Broccoli Rabe And Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
• In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat about 2-3 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet.
• Add in broccoli, chopped tomato, mushrooms, onion and garlic; sauté until tender (about 3 minutes).
• Add in olives and herbs; cool.
• Preheat the broiler.
• In a large bowl beat eggs and 1-1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese then season with salt and pepper.
• Mix in the sautéed veggies and cooked pasta.
• Heat another 2-3 tablespoons oil in a large oven-proof/broiler-proof skillet over medium heat.
• Add the egg mixture/pasta to the skillet, then press the mixture down with the back of a spoon to even out in the pan.
• Cook until the frittata on top of stove until the bottom is set and golden brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the top of the frittata is set (about 2 minutes).
• Remove the skillet and cut into wedges.
• Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Coarsely chop the broccoli florets and tender stems and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until tender with the edges crispy, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and the pasta. Cook according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain the pasta. Toss the hot pasta with the roasted broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the reserved sun-dried tomato oil. Stir in the mozzarella, parsley and as much remaining pasta water as needed to make a light sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions; 2 minutes before pasta is done cooking, add broccoli rabe and cook 2 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli rabe and pat dry.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add pasta, broccoli rabe, and tomatoes and sauté, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Whisk together eggs, cheese, milk, salt, and pepper and pour over pasta mixture. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until frittata is set (eggs should be just firm), 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer frittata to a cutting board and cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Discard tough ends of broccoli rabe, and cut remainder into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Rinse, shake off excess water, but do not dry.
• In a 5-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute.
• Add rinsed broccoli rabe (with water still clinging to leaves). Sprinkle with sugar; cover and cook until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Toss with sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Clean the rapini in lots of water, removing any loose dirt & the bottom portion of the stems which appear tough. Cut into 4-inch lengths.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the rapini, just enough water or stock to add moisture to the bottom for cooking, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until desired tenderness, about 15-30 minutes adding extra water if needed.
• Remove the lid and allow the water to evaporate.
• Garnish with Crushed pepper flakes.
