Parmesan And Pepper Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than pack instructions state, in salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a low heat, then add the ground black pepper and toast for a few minutes.
• Drain the pasta, keeping 200ml of the pasta water. Tip the pasta and 100ml of the pasta water into the pan with the butter and pepper. Toss briefly, then scatter over the parmesan evenly, but don't stir - wait for the cheese to melt for 30 seconds, then once melted, toss everything well, and stir together. This prevents the cheese from clumping or going stringy and makes a smooth, shiny sauce. Add a splash more pasta water if you need to, to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a good grating of black pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the package instructs, until al dente. Save 1 cup (240 ml) pasta water, then drain.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, butter, and pepper, and stir to combine.
• Stir in the reserved pasta water.
• Toss in the cooked pasta. Reduce the heat to low.
• Add the Parmesan and toss until the cheese is melted and the pasta is well-coated.
• Season with salt, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring a 12-quart pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 2 cups of cooking water.
• Return pasta and cooking water to the pot over low heat. Add 3 1/2 cups Pecorino Romano cheese, butter, and pepper. Stir until cheese has melted and formed a creamy sauce, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Serve with additional cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, crushed garlic and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until just tender, 6 or 7 minutes. Sprinkle in cheese and remove from heat. Transfer peppers to a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley. Cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot. Add 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid, cheese, and butter. Toss over medium heat until cheese melts and sauce coats pasta, adding more reserved cooking liquid if dry, about 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Garnish with Parmesan shavings, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a serving bowl, combine the tomato, pepperoni, olives, cheese, oil, salt if desired and garlic powder. Drain pasta; add to the tomato mixture and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta: Mound durum flour on a clean work surface. Make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well. Add 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. With a fork, whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating the flour. Slowly drizzle the water, one tablespoon at a time, into the egg mixture. When the dough holds together, begin kneading the dough to work in the remainder of the flour. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth, about 10 minutes. Form into a ball, and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
• Dust a baking sheet with semolina; set aside. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough crosswise into slices 1/16 inch thick. Using your thumb, press the slices into coinlike pieces. They should be slightly larger than a quarter. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; set aside for 30 minutes to dry.
• In a large saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add the reserved pasta, and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain; reserving stock. In a large saute pan, heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the pasta and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups reserved stock. Bring to a boil, stirring gently to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low, and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and parsley; stir to combine. Let simmer for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring water to a rolling boil and add a dash of salt and the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks for 8-10 minutes (depending on desired firmness), chop peppers into small chunks. Chop the tomato into about 16 different segments - any smaller, and they will get lost when you mix all the ingredients together.
• Sprinkle peppers and tomato with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Remove pasta from heat, drain water, and empty into a different container. Set aside.
• Using the same pot (this makes sure you get the most flavor, so don't switch pots), put in half a tablespoon of red pepper olive oil and let it coat the bottom. Dump in half of the chopped peppers; stir them in the oil to make sure they are coated.
• Let the peppers cook for about 5 minutes (or until tender), stirring occasionally to make sure they aren't sticking to the bottom. Then empty them into the container with the pasta.
• Add another half tablespoon of red pepper olive oil to the pan, let it coat the bottom, and let the other half of the peppers cook for about 5 minutes. Then empty them into the pasta container as well.
• Add the last half tablespoon of red pepper oil to the pan and let it coat the bottom. Add the tomato chunks. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the pasta and peppers back into the pot with the tomatoes and stir.
• Add pasta sauce, parmesan cheese, and pesto. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
• Add oregano, basil, and pepper. Mix.
• Refrigerate until cold or eat it now! :).
• It will keep for several days if refrigerated in a tupperware container.
