Fettucini With Kalamata Olive Tomato Pesto Recipes

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the sliced garlic over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic turns golden, about two minutes. Do not let it take on any more color than this. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon and discard, then add the bread crumbs to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until the bread crumbs are crisp. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
• Return the pan to medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil, the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic smells fragrant, and add the tomatoes, capers and olives. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the cooking recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the suggested time. Drain, and toss with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the bread crumbs and parsley on top, toss again briefly and serve, passing the Parmesan at the table.

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. When water comes to a boil, add pasta, stirring constantly for the first minute to help prevent spaghetti from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil. When almost smoking, add olives and red pepper flakes. Saute for 3 minutes over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the sauce and toss to coat completely. Add pasta water if you need to thin out the sauce a bit. Plate pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
• Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Set a large pan of lightly salted water ib high heat to come to a full rolling boil. In a food processor, combine jalapeno pepper, garlic, onion, thyme, parsley, olives and reserved brine, sundried tomatoes and reserved oil, vinegar, and olive oil. Pulse to coarsely chop the olives, tomatoes, and to combine all the ingredients. Set aside. Add fettucini to boiling water, bring back to a boil and cook 3 minutes or according to package directions. Set a large colander in a large serving bowl, and place both in the sink. Pour pasta into the colander, automatically warming the serving bowl. Discard cooking water, dry the underside of serving bowl with a towel, and empry fettucini into it. Season to taste with sea salt and top with 6 to 8 grinds of pepper. Top with pesto and strew scallions and lemon zest over it. Bring it to the table so everyone can admire it, and then toss and serve on warm wide shallow bowls. Let eveyone help themselves to grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Toss everything into the food processor, pulse until just combined, then process fully until a paste is achieved.

Steps:

• In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions, carrots, celery and garlic in oil about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Add beef; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked. Drain.
• Stir in broth, wine, tomato paste, thyme, oregano and tomatoes. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook 5 to 8 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
• Meanwhile, cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package.
• Stir parsley into sauce. Serve sauce over fettuccine; sprinkle with Parmesan-style topping.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Return pasta to pot.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, cook, stirring occasionally until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in artichokes and cook until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add olives and half of the tomatoes; cook until tomatoes start to break down, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta to skillet. Stir in remaining tomatoes, oil, cheese, and basil. Thin with reserved pasta water if necessary to coat the spaghetti. Serve with additional cheese.
