Servings: 6
Food Network ~ Step by Step

Ree’s 30-minute pasta is packed with veggies, including asparagus, bell pepper, peas and broccoli.
Recipe by: Ree Drummond

    Ingredients:
  • 1 pound medium pasta shells
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets
  • 2 scallions, sliced, whites and green parts separated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
  • 1 cup shredded white Cheddar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, scallion whites, garlic, asparagus and bell pepper. Season with the salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Splash in the wine and allow it to reduce for 1 minute. Add the milk and cream and continue to cook until warmed through. Stir in the peas.
  • Toss together the fontina, Cheddar and cornstarch in a bowl.
  • While stirring the sauce, sprinkle in the cheese mixture. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste. Garnish with the reserved scallion greens.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Strawberry-Pretzel Trifles
Servings: 6-8
Food Network Magazine ~ Step by Step

Layer a pretzel-based crumble between cream cheese filling and sweet strawberries for an individual treat.
Recipe by: Food Network Magazine
    Ingredients:

    For the strawberries:
  • 2 pints strawberries, halved (about 6 cups)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • For the crumble:
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
  • 3 1/2 cups small pretzel twists
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt

  • For the cream:
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Prepare the strawberries: Combine 4 cups strawberries and the granulated sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until bubbling, then increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries are soft and the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 cups strawberries and the lemon juice. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make the crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9-inch-round cake pan. Combine 3 cups pretzels, the melted butter, egg white, granulated sugar, flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until a wet dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Break the remaining 1/2 cup pretzels into pieces and press into the dough. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan, then break into bite-size pieces.
  • Make the cream: Just before serving, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat the heavy cream in another bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the rest.
  • Layer the cream, crumble and strawberry mixtures in individual glasses or bowls. Cover and chill, at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
