Angel Hair Pasta With Coriander And Chilli Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Stir the oil, parsley, lemon juice and lemon peel in a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and toss with enough reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and red pepper flakes, to taste. Sprinkle grated lemon peel over pasta for extra flavor and texture. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve.
• Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water uncovered until just tender, drain While the pasta is cooking heat oil in a large pan, cook the chiles and garlic stirring about 3 minutes until nice and fragrant.
• Remove the pan from the heat; stir in the coriander and salt.
• Gently toss the coriander mixture with the pasta and lemon juice in the pan.
• Sprinkle with parmesan just before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until the water cooks out and the garlic becomes tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste with 2 more tablespoons water and cook to "fry" the paste for a minute in the oil, stirring. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
• In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring with a slotted spoon to make sure it does not clump or stick to the bottom, until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a large colander.
• Add the hot pasta right from the colander to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream. Shut the heat off and allow the pasta to rest for 2 minutes. If too thin, gently warm and reduce over low heat for 1 to 2 additional minutes. If it becomes too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Serve topped with the cheese.

Steps:

• Hold a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle and cut the florets from the broccoli stems into a bowl. Chop remaining stems into small pieces and transfer stems to a separate bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook garlic in the hot oil-butter mixture, stirring often, until garlic is soft but not browned. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and salt. Pour chicken stock into skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir broccoli stems into the stock mixture and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add a little water or stock if mixture starts to dry out.
• Stir broccoli florets into skillet and cook broccoli sauce until florets are bright green and slightly tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and stir in angel hair pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta strands are almost tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large pot.
• Pour broccoli sauce over pasta, stir with a wooden spoon, and mix in 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Cover pot with a lid and let stand until pasta absorbs excess liquid and finishes cooking, about 2 minutes.
• Serve in bowls and sprinkle each serving with a dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• First, marinate the chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, 5-spice powder, sesame oil and black pepper in a non-metal bowl, set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water according to directions on package (mine says 2 minutes), drain and set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok; once hot saute onions and chillies for 1 minute.
• Add garlic and cook another 30sec.
• Add long beans, then cook for 1 minute.
• Add chicken pieces and stir continuously until they're completely cooked.
• Push the mixture to one side of the wok (if your wok/pan is too small, remove the mixture before proceeding), then pour the beaten egg and cook until set.
• Scramble the egg and combine with the vegetable mixture (in the wok).
• Add the cooked pasta, mix well and add the sauce ingredients.
• Cook for another 3-5 minutes until sauce is well-distributed; taste and adjust seasonings if necessary (I would add some chilli paste and/or tiny bit of soy sauce if necessary).
• If you like, sprinkle with 1/2-1 tsp sesame oil and chopped scallions before serving.
