DAIKON FETTUCINE WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE



Daikon Fettucine with Tomato-Basil Sauce image

This recipe for daikon fettucine with tomato-basil sauce is from "The New Art of Japanese Cooking," by chef Masaharu Morimoto.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound daikon
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove outer skin of the daikon and discard. Continue peeling down the length of the daikon, creating long ribbons that look like fettucine noodles. Place daikon noodles in a large bowl and cover with salted water; let soak 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving half the juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze tomatoes with your hands into the bowl of reserved juice; mash to combine. You should have about 2 cups.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain daikon noodles and dry them using a kitchen towel. Gently add noodles to sauce; reduce heat to medium. Cook until noodles are just heated through, about 1 minute. Divide among 3 or 4 serving plates; serve immediately, with cheese, if desired.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE



Spaghetti With Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce image

This recipe came to The Times in 2003 from the chef Scott Conant, who was then cooking at his restaurant L'Impero in Manhattan. It is simple, classic Italian fare that makes the most of summer's tomatoes, but you can also make it with hothouse offerings and it will be delicious.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded and quartered
3 ounces olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pinch crushed red-pepper flakes
1 pound dry spaghetti
2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
6 leaves fresh basil, shredded
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
  • Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
  • While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
  • At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

TOMATO-BASIL PIZZETTES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield sixteen 3-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/4 teaspoons (half a 1/4-ounce packet) instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
16 thin slices soppressata (about 2 ounces)
10 medium tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put 1/2 cup flour, the yeast and sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. With the motor running, add 3/4 cup hot tap water (about 115 degrees F). Turn off the motor and add the cornmeal, cheese, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 cup flour. Pulse until the dough forms a ball, then continue pulsing until smooth but still wet, about 15 more times.
  • Make the pizzettes: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, 12 to 15 times, dusting lightly with flour if too wet to handle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick disk, about 14 inches across. Using a 3-inch-round cutter, cut the dough into 16 rounds, gathering and rerolling the scraps if needed. Transfer the rounds to the prepared pans.
  • Mix the olive oil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush each round lightly with the herb oil, then top each with a slice of soppressata and 2 to 3 tomato slices. Sprinkle with the parmesan. Bake one sheet at a time, until the crusts are golden, about 8 minutes.
  • Drizzle the pizzettes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and top with the basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a mandoline to slice the daikon into thin, even ribbons.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the daikon very thinly.
  • Be sure to rinse the daikon ribbons thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch.
  • Cook the daikon ribbons in boiling water for just a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Don't overcook the daikon ribbons, or they will become mushy.
  • The tomato basil sauce is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and basil.
  • You can also use your favorite store-bought tomato sauce if you're short on time.
  • Serve the daikon fettuccine with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Daikon fettuccine with tomato basil sauce is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta dishes. It's made with simple ingredients and can be prepared in just 30 minutes. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
