Categories     main-dish

Time 48m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ripe tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 oregano sprig
Pinch chili flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound dried angel hair pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chiffonade basil, plus whole sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 baguette
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed and soaked
1/4 cup Calabrian chiles, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons cream
4 ounces Angel hair pasta, cooked
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the toasted breadcrumbs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the baguette into large cubes. Add to a food processor and pulse until processed into crumbs. Spread the crumbs out on a baking sheet and toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and toast until golden brown, stirring as needed to evenly brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For the clams: Add the clams, 2 tablespoons of the chopped Calabrian chiles, garlic, onion, two of the thyme sprigs, white wine, 1 cup water and some kosher salt to a saucepan. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and cook just until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the clams from the broth with tongs and allow to cool. Reserve the clam broth. Discard any clams that haven't opened. Once the clams have cooled, remove from shells and chop. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: To a large high-sided saute pan, add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil and allow the butter to melt. Once melted, add the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped Calabrian chilies and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs, along with a ladleful or two of the clam broth. Bring to a boil. Add a touch of cream and the chopped clams, stirring until just combined. Remove the thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with more broth if needed, and toss.
  • Serve in a bowl, garnished with chopped parsley and toasted breadcrumbs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy clams, ripe tomatoes, and fresh herbs.

  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste. If you like more garlic, add more garlic. If you like more heat, add more red pepper flakes. Make the recipe your own!

This angel hair pasta with clams, tomatoes, basil, and parsley is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors is simply divine, and the fresh herbs really brighten up the dish. If you are looking for a seafood pasta dish that is both flavorful and easy to make, then this is the recipe for you.
