Tagliatelle With Zucchini And Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• For the pasta dough: Put the flour on a clean dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack the eggs and yolk into the hole, and add the olive oil, salt and water.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water and salt, and then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture. (Be careful not to break the sides of the well, or the egg mixture will run all over your work surface and you'll have a big mess! Also, don't worry about lumps.) When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it won't run all over the place, begin to use your hands to get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together into a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
• When kneading, it is VERY important to put your body weight into it--get on top of the dough to really stretch, not tear, it. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader or 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
• When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour.
• For the shrimp and squid sauce: In a large pan, saute the fennel and onion in the oil until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, zucchini, tomato and some salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another few minutes. Stir in the red pepper. Add the wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and simmer until slightly thickened. Add the shrimp and squid. Cook until just done, being careful not to overcook the shrimp and squid or else they'll be rubbery.
• Take off the heat, set aside and keep warm.
• For the arugula salad: Toss the arugula in the olive oil; season with salt.
• To finish the pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Roll out the pasta very thin with a pasta maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Then use the machine to cut the pasta into tagliatelle.
• Cook a quarter of the pasta in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes (save the remainder for another use).
• To serve: Divide the tagliatelle among 4 plates and divide the sauce over it, making sure each plate gets some pieces of shrimp and squid. Top with the arugula salad and some grated Parmesan, and garnish with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Heat the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp, onion, garlic, chile flakes, salt and pepper, then cook until the onions are translucent and the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, then allow it to boil and reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest to the skillet, then toss to combine. Sprinkle over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil leaves. Remove the smashed garlic cloves and serve straight from the skillet.

Steps:

• Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl.
• Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade. Chop up into slightly shorter pieces.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon zest, spinach, and chicken broth. Cook until liquid reduces by 1/4, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and capers. Cook until shrimp is warmed through, about 1 minute more. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top.

Steps:

• Pat shrimp dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté zucchini, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, until zucchini is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Cook pasta while zucchini is sautéing:
• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well in a colander and add to zucchini along with shrimp, zest, and basil. Cook over moderately high heat, tossing, until shrimp are heated through, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat.
• Coat a large, wide pot set over medium-high heat with olive oil. Toss in the garlic and crushed red pepper. When the garlic becomes golden and very aromatic, remove from the pan and discard. Toss in the tomatoes, zucchini and onions and roll them around in the oil. Add 1 cup of the stock and season with salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the tomatoes start to burst and give off their juices, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup more stock if the liquid level is very low.
• Drop the tagliatelle into the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the shrimp into the pot with the tomatoes and stir to combine. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and then toss the pasta immediately into the pot with the tomato mixture. Add in the reserved cooking water, if needed. Toss vigorously to combine. Remove from the heat and drizzle some finishing oil over the top, then add the Parmesan and a sprinkling of fresh oregano to garnish. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately.
• Place the flour on a clean dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour about 8-inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, a pinch of salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water and salt. Then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together as a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
• When kneading it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch, but not to tear, the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
• When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
• To roll out the pasta, you need to run the dough through a pasta roller a bunch of times to get it long and thin. To start, cut off about a quarter of the dough, keeping the rest wrapped up so it doesn't dry out. Squish the dough to flatten it. Run the dough through the pasta roller starting on the widest setting, number 1. Then dust the dough with flour, fold it into thirds, and put the dough through this setting two more times. If the dough ever feels sticky or tacky, dust with flour. Now adjust the setting to number 2 and repeat the process again, changing the setting each time until the dough reaches the desired thickness. Once the dough is rolled out, be sure to keep the pasta covered so it doesn't dry out. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, then cut the dough to the desires pasta shape.
