ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND TOMATOES



Angel Hair Pasta With Lemon, Garlic and Tomatoes image

Served with a fresh salad, I think this is a perfect summer weekday meal. It comes together very fast if you prepare all the ingredients beforehand. (note: typo in wine amount has been corrected - 1/4 cup, not 1 1/4 cup - yowza, that'd be a lot of wine!)

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb angel hair pasta
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 -8 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced medium
1 teaspoon coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in several quarts of salted water (keep an eye on it - angel hair cooks a lot faster than other pasta and you don't want it mushy). Place it in a large serving bowl, add the basil and Parmesan cheese and toss to mix.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic for a minute or so until it *just* begins to change color. Add the wine and cook until it has been reduced by about half (2-4 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice and tomatoes and remove the sauce from heat until the pasta is ready.
  • Pour lemon-tomato sauce over pasta mixture, add salt and pepper to taste and toss to mix. Serve with extra Parmesan on the side, if desired.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH LEMON CAPER CREAM SAUCE ON ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Sauteed Shrimp With Lemon Caper Cream Sauce on Angel Hair Pasta image

Categories     Healthy

Time 22m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter (no subs!)
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (can reduce to 1/3 cup for a less lemony flavor)
salt (to taste, I use seasoned salt)
black pepper (lots!)
2 lbs large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add in green onions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and chili flakes; cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add in the shrimp; cook stirring for about 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.
  • Season with salt and lots of black pepper and stir in parsley.
  • Toss with the cooked angel hair pasta.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to this dish that is unmatched by bottled or frozen lemon juice.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it for the amount of time specified on the package, or until it is al dente (tender but still slightly firm).
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of this dish. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to this dish. Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs before serving.

Conclusion:

Lemon angel hair pasta is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright citrus flavor and delicate texture, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
