Linguini With Oven Dried Tomatoes Grapes And Anchovies Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguini and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the garlic, anchovies, dried tomatoes, dried grapes and red pepper and toss well. Add the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and toss. Divide among 4 plates and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it for the pasta -- you should be able to make the entire recipe as the pasta cooks.
• Put olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add garlic and chilies, if using -- cook garlic so it bubbles gently.
• When it is lightly browned all over, add anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until anchovies begin to fall apart, then add tomatoes.
• Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
• Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. When it is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Serve pasta with sauce and parsley.

Steps:

• In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil for pasta.
• In a large skillet cook onion and garlic in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add anchovies and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes with reserved juice, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Add capers, prosciutto, basil or parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
• Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente and drain in a colander. In a large bowl toss pasta with sauce and serve with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to the lowest heat setting (150-200°F). The goal here is to dry the tomatoes slowly but surely.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the tomatoes on top, cut side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Bake the tomatoes until the edges have shriveled and the insides are still slightly moist but not juicy. Timing depends on the type and size of tomato; the drying will take anywhere between 2 and 8 hours.
• Set the pan aside until completely cool and then transfer the tomatoes to a clean and sterilized jar. Add a few sprigs of dry herbs and a clove of garlic, if using, to the jar. Pour in olive oil, thoroughly covering the tomatoes to preserve them.
• Store in the fridge for 4-6 weeks. Use up the remaining olive oil in dishes that can benefit from the savory tomato flavor.

Steps:

• Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients except butter in a large bowl., Drain linguine; toss with butter. Add to tomato mixture and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tomatoes, rounded side down, in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with anchovies, parsley, garlic and dried red pepper, then salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Bake tomatoes uncovered until tender, wrinkled and starting to brown at edges, about 40 minutes.
