Spicy Spaghettini With Sea Urchin And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
• While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

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:

• Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for spaghetti. Mince garlic and halve tomatoes. In a 12-inch skillet heat 4 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté garlic and chiles, stirring, until garlic is golden. Add tomatoes and herb sprigs and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to lose their shape, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander and in a bowl toss with remaining tablespoon oil. Remove herb sprigs and chiles from sauce and pour sauce over pasta.
• Garnish pasta with basil.

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta.
• Pulse the chopped tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or pass through the medium blade of a food mill with their juice before you begin. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide nonstick skillet or saucepan and add the garlic and crumbled chili (or flakes). Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is translucent and begins to smell fragrant, and add the tomatoes and their juice, salt, and oregano if using. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
• When the pasta water comes to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook the pasta al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking a minute or two before the time on the package. When the pasta is done, transfer to the pan with the sauce, add the basil if using, and toss together over medium heat until it is well coated with the sauce. Add half the cheese, toss together and serve, passing the remaining cheese at the table.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large sauté pan. Add carrots, celery and onion and cook on medium until soft. Stir in chili and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned, about 20 minutes total.
