Ingredients
3 oz Diced Pancetta
6 oz Whole Grain Radiator Pasta (contains 34 g whole grain per 2 oz serving)
2 ear Corn
1 each Bell Pepper
3 tbsp Roasted Bell Pepper Pesto
¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 ½ tsp Calabrian Chile Paste
2 tbsp Mascarpone Cheese
2 each Scallions
2 tbsp Roasted Pistachios
How to make it
1
Bring a medium pot of salted water (3/4 full) to a boil. Rinse and dry all produce. Slice the scallions, keeping the white bases and green tops separate. Strip the corn kernels from the cobs. Stem the peppers, halve lengthwise, seed and devein, then cut into a medium dice. Roughly chop the pistachios.
2
Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook stirring occasionally 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water (1 cup for 4 servings), and return to the pot.
3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the pancetta and cook stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving any fond in the pan.
4
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the pan with the fond over medium-high. Add the white scallion bases and cook stirring constantly 30 seconds to 1 minute until softened. Add the corn and diced peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and softened. Remove from heat.
5
Add the cooked vegetables, cooked pancetta, red pepper pesto, half the reserved pasta water, and as much chile paste as you like to the pot. Cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, 1-2 minutes until the pasta is coated, adding more pasta water gradually if needed. Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone until combined. Serve topped with the green scallion tops, parmesan, and chopped pistachios.

Corn & Red Pepper Whole Grain Pasta

Corn & Red Pepper Whole Grain Pasta (with Pistachios & Parmesan Cheese) is a Pork meal from Blue Apron. The recipe format follows Blue Apron's standard approach of pre-measured ingredients and step-by-step instructions.

Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Pasta was originally only made with durum, although the definition has been expanded to include alternatives for a gluten-free diet, such as rice flour, or legumes such as beans or lentils. [1]
