Spaghettini With Tomatoes Mushrooms And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice tomatoes and place half of the slices in a single layer on the bottom of a baking dish. Add 2 to 3 anchovies on top of each tomato slice. Top each tomato slice with another tomato slice, making a sandwich out of the anchovies. Season with crushed red pepper and olive oil. Bake 20 minutes.
• Cook pasta.
• Drain pasta and mix with tomato and anchovy mixture in a large pasta bowl. Toss with spoons to break up the tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and fresh Parmesan, to taste.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Break or cut pasta in half to help it cook evenly. Meanwhile, in a skillet large enough to hold pasta later on, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, reduce heat to low, and slowly cook on all sides, turning often, until cloves are lightly browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Raise heat under skillet to medium, add chili flakes and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently, just until wilted.
• When water boils, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and pasta. Stir well and bring back to boil. Cook, stirring often. When pasta is cooked through but still firm, drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
• Turn heat under skillet to low. Add about 3/4 of the sea urchin to skillet with a sprinkle of salt and a splash of pasta cooking water. Add pasta to skillet and toss thoroughly but gently over low heat, adding pasta cooking water and more oil to taste if mixture is dry. Taste for salt and toss in lemon zest, if using, and parsley. Serve hot, decorating each serving with remaining sea urchin.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrot, bell pepper, onion and garlic and saut´ until tender, about 10 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes with puree, stewed tomatoes with juices, wine, dried red pepper and oregano. Bring to simmer. Cook sausage in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to sauce. Reserve dripping in skillet. Cover sauce partially and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Add mushrooms and zucchini to skillet with drippings; saut´ over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir into sauce. Simmer uncovered until sauce is thick, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar. Season with salt, pepper and more dried red pepper, if desired. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to simmer before using.)
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl. Toss pasta with enough sauce to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve, passing Parmesan and remaining sauce separately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Add in chopped onion, garlic, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes; saute for about 5-6 minutes.
• Add in tomatoes with juice and drained mushrooms along with black and green olives; simmer on low heat for about 25-30 minutes, or until mixture starts to thicken.
• Add in cooked pasta shells and 3/4 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese; toss to combine.
• Serve with more Parmesan cheese.
