RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Three Way Garlic Pasta

February 27, 2023

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

1 1/2 medium heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled

2 cups cold water

2 teaspoons salt

3 orange bell peppers

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1/2 pound baby spinach

10 ounces campanelli (bellflower) pasta

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 (19-oz) can white beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2/3 oz)

Directions

Step 1 Reserve 6 large garlic cloves. Put remaining cloves in 2 cups cold water, then simmer in a small saucepan, covered, until garlic is very soft, about 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup garlic cooking liquid, then drain garlic in a sieve.

Step 2 Purée cooked garlic with reserved cooking liquid and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.

Step 3 While garlic simmers, roast peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes (or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes. Peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces.

Step 4 Mince 2 reserved garlic cloves with thyme and remaining teaspoon salt using a large knife. Transfer along with spinach to a large serving bowl.

Make sauce while pasta is cooking:

Step 5 Finely chop remaining 4 garlic cloves and cook in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peppers and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add beans and garlic purée to skillet and bring to a simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6 Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta. Add pasta, sauce, vinegar, and cheese to  spinach and garlic in serving bowl and toss to combine. (Add some of reserved cooking water if mixture is dry.) Serve immediately.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Chicken Vegetable and Orzo Soup

February 23, 2023

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 large chicken breasts)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 14 oz packaged, grated mixed vegetables (like corn, green beans, and carrots, or canned vegetables listed in Tips)
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat orzo
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups water

Directions

  1. Add chicken broth, water, thyme, and dill into a large, heavy-duty pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. When boiling, use tongs to add chicken breasts into the water. Cover, lowering heat to medium or medium-low, so liquid is at a simmer. Cook until chicken is fully-cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Cut into the chicken to check that it is fully cooked.) When chicken is done, use tongs to transfer chicken from soup onto a plate. Carefully, cut chicken into a few pieces to cool quickly.
  3. Stir in orzo, frozen vegetables, spinach, and lemon juice. Let soup cook over medium heat until orzo is cooked, about 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, when chicken has cooled down, cut into chunks. Add chicken to the soup when orzo has cooked its 10 minutes, stirring and cooking until chicken is warm, just a couple minutes. Remove soup from heat and serve.
