Green Linguine

March 31, 2022 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

Winter is still in the air while the ramps and herbs are starting to poke through the soil. This make-ahead dish celebrates the raw, multi-toned greens of the newly sprung. Cook it the night before, making enough for a few days, refrigerate and it’s ready to eat when you unmold it in the morning. You could also warm it up on the stove. Cool or warm, it is a celebration of spring.

Ingredients to make 3-4 servings
½ box linguine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 asparagus spears, sliced into thin ovals
3 scallions, chopped
8 snow peas, slivered
1 cup baby arugula
¼ cup parsley, rough chopped
1/3 cup Kite Hill non-dairy plain yogurt
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Process
Boil the linguine as per package instructions, removing from water about one minute before it is completely done. It should be al dente. Run under cold water and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the scallions, then the asparagus and the snow peas; sauté lightly. Add the arugula and parsley and then the pasta. Add the yogurt and sauté together in the pan, finishing with sea salt and pepper to taste.
When the greens are still bright green, and the pasta is well integrated and creamy, divide up into small glass bowls. Add some fresh arugula and allow to cool.

When cool, refrigerate overnight. In the morning, invert the bowl onto a plate and you will have a perfectly molded linguine cake.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

My daughter had her 10th birthday celebration with Nancy over zoom (due to Covid 19). They cooked a delicious meal for 8 people, which all adults and kids enjoyed. Nancy is fabulous in making cooking fun, nourishing, educational, and spiritual. My daughter also did a few cooking workshops with her in the past and loved them. She keeps asking for more. I highly recommend Nancy's cooking classes and party workshops.
