Spaghetti Al Vino Bianco Recipes

Steps:

• Heat onions, garlic, fennel, half the parsley, salt, and olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat.
• Cook, stirring often, about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown.
• Increase heat until the vegetables are sizzling and add in the mushrooms; cook for 3 minutes over medium-high heat.
• Add in the beef and cook, stirring often, until the beef loses any pink color and is completely cooked.
• Add in the stock; cover and bring to a boil; decrease heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Taste and add more salt if necessary; set aside over low heat while you cook the pasta.
• Bring a big pot of water to a boil; generously salt water and drop in the rigatoni.
• Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
• Drain pasta and transfer to the saute pan with the sauce.
• If the sauce seems too soupy, reduce it by increasing the heat and cooking briskly for 1-2 minutes; the pasta should be generously bathed in sauce.
• Finely chop the mint and add to the pasta with the remaining parsley.
• Toss and serve right away; pass a bowl of ricotta at the table to dollop on each portion.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil and pancetta in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat; cook until pancetta is browned and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to paper towel-lined plate. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons rendered fat from skillet. 2. Return skillet to medium-low heat and add garlic and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic begins to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add 1 1/2 cups wine and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until wine is reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2t salt. Taste and season with up to 1T sugar if needed. 3. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until pasta is flexible but not fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Remove 2 cups pasta water, then drain pasta. 4. Transfer pasta to skillet with reduced white wine. Place skillet over medium heat; add 1/2 cup unreduced wine and cook. tossing constantly until wine is fully absorbed. Continue to add remaining wine 1/2 cup at a time until pasta is al dente, about eight minutes. Augment with pasta water if necessary. 5. Remove skillet from heat. Place arugula on top of spaghetti; pour 1/4 cup reserved pasta water over arugula, cover, and let stand for one minute. Add cream and 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano; toss until sauce lightly coats pasta and arugula is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving platter and sprinkle with pancetta, remaining 1/4 cup cheese, and pine nuts. Serve immediately, passing extra cheese.
