Cappelini Pescatore Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt and a splash of oil to the pot.
• Meanwhile, heat the 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften but don't break up.
• While the tomatoes are cooking, add the capellini to the pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.
• Place the pasta in a large serving bowl, add the tomatoes and Parmesan and toss well. Add some of the pasta water if the pasta seems too dry. Serve large bowls of pasta with extra basil sprinkled on top and a big bowl of extra Parmesan on the side.

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the capellini and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Add the zest and juice of the 2 lemons. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and swirl the pan to combine.
• As soon as the pasta is cooked, lift the pasta out of the water with tongs, allowing most but not all of the water to drain back into the pot, and add all the pasta to the sauce. Cook for one minute, adding pasta water to the sauce with a ladle just enough to keep the pasta moist.
• Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with more lemon zest, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to high and boil the wine until almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chile flakes and bring the sauce to a boil. Cook, about 10 minutes. Add the flounder, shrimp and capers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture until the flounder and shrimp are almost cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water. Cook the pasta until tender but still firm to bite, about 8 minutes.
• Ladle out 1/4 cup pasta cooking water and reserve. Drain the pasta. Add the pasta and reserved water to the skillet and toss gently. Cook on low, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to a bowl and serve with the Parmesan if desired.

Steps:

• For the pasta: To hand-make the pasta mix the flour, salt, and eggs together over a well floured surface and thin with a rolling pin. Roll the dough out and cut into 1/3-inch wide by 1-inch long strips. Unroll the strips and then place in a plate and sprinkle with flour. Allow to sit for 30 minutes before cooking.
• For the sauce: In a large saucepan heat 2 tablespoons oil, add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. When the garlic is blonde add the calamari and 1 1/2 cups white wine and let it simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on. As the calamari gets softer, add the peeled tomatoes to the pan and keep covered over a medium heat.
• At the same time, in a separate large pan add the 1/2 cup olive oil, the remaining 1/2 cup white wine, mussels, clams, cover and cook until the shellfish open. Drain the liquid in the pan through a strainer; discard solids and set the liquid aside.
• Transfer the opened mussels and clams to the pan with the calamari, add a cup of the drained liquid, the shrimp, the parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt to taste and cook for 10 more minutes.
• In a large pot bring water to a boil and cook pasta and then drain. Add the sauce with the mussels and clams and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Serve hot.
