fresh turnip green cacio e pepe pasta with baby hakurei turnips & pear salad

http://www.blueapron.com

Ingredients

• 1 Bosc Pear
• 1 Bunch Baby Harukei Turnips with Tops
• 1 Bunch Parsley
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Teaspoons Whole Black Peppercorns
• 3 Tablespoons Salted Butter
• 10 Ounces Fresh Turnip Green Pasta
• 2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Grated Pecorino Cheese

1. Prepare the ingredients: Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Cut the lemon into quarters and remove the seeds. Peel the pear and cut into quarters, then core and slice into ¼-inch thick pieces. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemon wedges over the pears to prevent them from browning. Roughly chop the green tops of the turnips, then slice the turnip bottoms into ¼-inch thick half circles. Pick the parsley leaves off the stem
2. Crack the peppercorns:Using a spice grinder or the bottom of a heavy pan, crack the black peppercorns in small batches (10 to 15 at a time) until they resemble a coarse grind
3. Make the vinaigrette & salad: In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon wedges and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the pears, cut turnip bottoms, parsley leaves and some of the vinaigrette (you may have extra vinaigrette). Season with salt and pepper and toss to thoroughly coat.
4. Prepare the pasta sauce:In a large pan, combine the butter, 2 tablespoons of olive oil,¼ cup of water and as much cracked black pepper as you’d like (depending on how peppery you’d like the dish to be). Heat on medium for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or just until the butter melts, breaking apart the butter with a spoon to help it melt faster. Remove from heat and set aside (you’ll reheat it later)
5. Cook the pasta: Once the water is boiling, add the fresh pasta. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the pasta floats and is al dente (tender but still has a bite). Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water and drain thoroughly.
6. Finish the pasta:Reheat the pan with the pasta sauce on medium until hot. Add the cooked pasta and turnip greens and mix to thoroughly combine. Stir in all but a pinch of both the Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses (reserve the rest for garnish). Then, gradually add up to 1 cup of pasta water to create a creamy consistency. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until well-combined and the greens are wilted. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. To plate your dish, divide the pasta between 2 bowls and garnish with the remaining cheeses. Enjoy!

Roasted Hakurei Turnips with Israeli Couscous Salad
(makes 3-4 servings)

• 1 bunch hakurei turnips with fresh-looking greens
• 1 cup Israeli couscous
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• pinch of optional red chili flakes
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• juice from half a lemon
• 4-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim radishes from greens leaving a small stub of the stems attached. Wash both well to remove dirt. Halve each turnip, keeping the long tails intact. Finely chop the greens.
2. Toss the turnips with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, pinches of salt and pepper, and the optional chili flakes. Place flat side-down on a roasting pan. Roast for 5-10 minutes, or just until the bottoms are lightly browned. Toss around in the pan with tongs, and continue roasting another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of 3 cups water to a bowl and add the couscous. Continue to boil for 8-10 minutes until couscous is tender. Drain.
4. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high flame and add the garlic. Once fragrant, toss in the leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sautee until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
5. Combine the chopped onion with the cooled couscous and greens. Add fresh lemon juice, an extra tablespoon or so of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the roasted radishes on top.
