Artichoke And Escargot Over Linguini Food

BACON AND ARTICHOKE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add the guanciale or bacon and cook until crisp. Add the onion, garlic and a little pepper and stir for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and stir. Add the stock and artichokes and heat through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
• To serve, bring water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente, reserving 1 cup of the starchy water just before draining. Add the pasta to the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley and half the cheese and cook, tossing to combine and adding some of the starchy pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with more cheese on top.
• Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns and the herb bundle; season with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a low, rolling simmer. Simmer 60 to 75 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.

ARTICHOKE AND ESCARGOT OVER LINGUINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Melt half of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and artichokes; cook and stir for a few minutes. When the mushrooms start to brown, stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant and lightly browned.
• Stir in the escargot, and season with sage and oregano. Cook for just a few minutes, as the escargot cooks really fast like shrimp. Add about half of the Parmesan cheese, and remove from the heat. Serve over linguine with remaining Parmesan cheese.

LINGUINI WITH ARTICHOKE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine oil, butter, flour and chicken broth or vegetable broth, and simmer until it thickens.

• Reduce heat to low. Add the garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Blend in the artichokes and the 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese.
• Cover and simmer over low heat for about 8 minutes.
• Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the remaining oil, cheese, and salt. Add linguine and toss lightly.
• Arrange pasta on a platter and pour sauce over all. (I usually just toss it all together.).
• Serve immediately. (It still tastes good as leftovers too.).

ARTICHOKE & SAUSAGE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, and cook the sausages, using a fork to break up the meat, until they are browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook an additional minute or two.
• Remove the sausage meat to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Add the artichokes and remaining oil to the same pan that you cooked the sausages in, and cook over medium high heat until lightly browned, stirring as needed, about 12 minutes.
• Return the sausage to the pan and add the wine, and half a cup of water.
• Season with salt and pepper, and cook partly covered until the artichokes are very tender and the liquid has reduced and thickened.
• Heat a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cook your pasta of choice according to the package instructions until it is "al dente".
• Reserve a small cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta.
• Return the pasta to the pot and add the sausage and artichoke mixture along with the parsley.
• Toss continuously over high heat, adding some pasta water to help loosen the mixture until it is piping hot, 2 or 3 minutes.
• Serve in individual bowls topped with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.

ARTICHOKE, OLIVE & LEMON PASTA

Steps:

• Boil the pasta. While it cooks, mix together the lemon zest and juice, oil and Parmesan.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 3 tbsp of the cooking water, then return to the pan with the lemon mix, cooking water, artichokes and olives. Heat through briefly, season well, stir through the rocket, then serve.

ARTICHOKE PASTA

Steps:

• Pour the artichokes, with their oil into a pan and mash them down with a fork.
• Add the garlic, parsley and thyme and heat through for a couple of minutes and then pour over the warm pasta.
• Add the lemon juice and toss thoroughly.
• Serve in bowls topped with shavings of parmesan cheese.

ESCARGOT WITH ARTICHOKES AND ASPARAGUS TIPS

Steps:

• In a heavy non-reactive casserole, warm the olive oil over low heat. Slowly cook the onion and carrot until they began to turn golden, then arrange the artichokes in the casserole in a single layer. Add the bay leaf, thyme, the 2 whole cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the wine into the casserole; add water until the artichokes are just covered. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, covered, then remove the lid, add the asparagus and reduce the cooking liquid over high heat to thicken the sauce. While waiting for the reduction, saute the snails in butter. Mince the remaining garlic cloves and mix in the basil and parsley. Off the heat, add the minced garlic mixture and snails, check for seasoning. Stir well and serve immediately. Peel the artichoke bottoms & stems, and rub each with half a lemon as you finish trimming it. Place them in cold water acidulated with the juice from the remaining lemon half. Spread the leaves of each artichoke, and use a small spoon to remove the choke; return to the lemon water.
