Pasta Recipe with Snap Peas, Basil, and Spinach - One Pot Dinner - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey
It's true: Boiling water and a bit of stirring are the only techniques you need to make today's one-pot recipe. I love that! I also love that it tastes like so much more work than it is. You can convince people you spent hours blanching the bright vegetables and making the light-yet-creamy sauce.... I won't tell! Sarah's Tip of the Day: Because it's mid-March and spring is almost here (can you believe it?) we're going to use some spring produce: snap peas, basil, and spinach. Cook those with some short pasta, such as penne or gemelli, then toss with heavy cream and some grated Parmesan to make a quick creamy sauce. Watch the video and I'll show you my favorite two-second trick for adding flavor to your pasta as it boils. You'll use it all the time!

Add snap peas and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and basil and stir once to wilt. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Add cream to pot and heat over medium-high until bubbling. Return pasta mixture and 1/4 cup pasta water to pot and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. If necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Cook's Note: One Pot - Cooking the vegetables along with the pasta makes for easy cleanup. --------------------------------------------------------------- Get the Full Recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/968771/p...
