March 17, 2016 by Momstart 1 Comment

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

National Pasta Association has several healthy and easy, festive pasta recipes that will keep the family satisfied, including a hearty Lasagna Verde, a fresh veggie filled Fusilli with Lemon-Arugula Pesto and a flavorful Tortellini Caesar Salad.

This is the Fusilli Recipe:Fusilli with Lemon-Arugula Pesto, Roasted Cauliflower & Green Peas--no filter

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups/12 oz. cauliflower florets
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 4 oz. fusilli*
  • 2 cups/2 oz. arugula
  • 1 Tbsp./½ oz. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 3 cloves/¼ oz. garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup/5 oz. frozen peas, thawed
  • 4 tsp. grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place the cauliflower on a baking tray, toss to coat with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until softened and golden, turning half way through cooking (about 30 minutes in total).

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fusilli according to package directions. Drain and reserve.

3. To make the pesto, place the arugula, lemon juice and zest, garlic and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse and scrape down sides as needed to puree. Add a tablespoon of warm water, or more, to help bring it together, if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Toss the fusilli with the cauliflower, arugula pesto and peas. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Divide between four bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmigiano.

    This is a great summer recipe for lunch or dinner. I bet shrimp would be excellent in this.
