BLUSHING ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Blushing Angel Hair Pasta image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until the water cooks out and the garlic becomes tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste with 2 more tablespoons water and cook to "fry" the paste for a minute in the oil, stirring. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
  • In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring with a slotted spoon to make sure it does not clump or stick to the bottom, until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a large colander.
  • Add the hot pasta right from the colander to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream. Shut the heat off and allow the pasta to rest for 2 minutes. If too thin, gently warm and reduce over low heat for 1 to 2 additional minutes. If it becomes too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Serve topped with the cheese.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked angel hair pasta.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half.
  • To make the sauce even creamier, add a tablespoon of butter.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • To make the sauce more flavorful, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley.
