Bow Tie Pasta With New Potatoes And Olives Food

AWESOME BOW TIE PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and place in ice water until cool.
• Toss pasta with onion, feta, balsamic, olive oil and tomato. Serve immediately or chill 1 to 2 hours in refrigerator.

BOW-TIE PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook 10 minutes, then add the broccoli and pasta and cook as the pasta label directs.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Cook until soft, about 7 minutes.
• Put the lettuce in a colander. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta, broccoli and potatoes over the lettuce to wilt it. Return the pasta and vegetables to the pot.
• Add the leeks to the pot and stir in enough of the reserved cooking water to moisten. Stir in the cheeses and season with salt and pepper. Top with more parmesan.

BOW TIE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water.
• Toss tomatoes, cucumber,black olives, olive oil, garlic, basil and salt and pepper.
• In large bowl, gently toss the pasta with the tomato mixture and Mozzarella cheese.
• Chill for 2-3 hours so flavors can blend.

CREAMY BOW TIE PASTA

Steps:

• Turn Instant Pot (IP) to the "Saute" mode and allow it to heat until it reads "HOT"!
• Add butter or olive oil to IP and allow to melt, then toss in chopped mushrooms and saute until soft, a few minutes. Turn off IP.
• Pour in broth (or water), scraping the bottom of the pan to release any bits, this is called deglazing the pan.
• Add garlic, pepper, onion powder, heavy cream and Prosecco, give it all a quick stir.
• Pour in bow tie pasta, pressing down lightly with wooden spoon until evenly distributed and most of it is under liquid.
• Close IP lid, lock and secure (close vent) and set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 4 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes to come to pressure, allow for a 4-5 minute natural release (longer if at altitude), then release the rest of the steam, carefully.
• Stir in sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, the sauce will thicken as it cools. If desired, sprinkle with some chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil.
• I do not recommend freezing a cream based recipe like this, but this does store well in the fridge up to 7 days. See below for reheating instructions.
• This recipe may be doubled, if making in the instant pot, if too watery when you release the pressure, simply turn IP to simmer and stir until desired thickness.

BOW TIE PASTA WITH NEW POTATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil and white wine in the bottom of a mixing bowl; season highly with salt and pepper. Add scallions, romaine lettuce and peppers.
• Scrub the potatoes clean with a vegetable brush. If they are large, cut them in half or quarters. Boil in a quart of water, partially covered, until they are just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water, pat dry. Cut them into bite-sized chunks and add them to the mixing bowl. Toss them while still warm with olive oil and wine.
