How to Make Baby Bok Choy Pennoni Rigati Alfredo
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add 8 ounces of Pennoni Rigati pasta; stir and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 1 cup of Alfredo sauce and 1 tablespoon of pesto in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Set aside.
- Once the pasta is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a large bowl. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Add the chopped baby bok choy to the boiling pasta water and blanch for 2 minutes until slightly wilted.
- Remove the bok choy from the water with a slotted spoon and add it to the bowl with the pasta.
- Pour the warmed Alfredo sauce over the pasta and bok choy. Toss gently to combine, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to adjust the consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra nutmeg (optional), alongside your favorite crusty bread and salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
