CLAM PASTA WITH BASIL AND HOT PEPPER



Clam Pasta With Basil and Hot Pepper image

The beauty of this dish is that the clams can be steamed in the time it takes to cook the pasta, so the whole affair can be put together quite rapidly. High heat and a covered pot will have the shells open in minutes.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup basil leaves
1 cup Italian parsley leaves
3 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 pound bucatini, spaghetti or linguine
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seed, optional
1/2 teaspoon peperoncino (hot red-pepper flakes)
4 pounds small clams, such as little neck or Manila, rinsed of sand
1/2 cup dry white wine
Basil leaves, for garnish
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Make the purée: Grind basil and parsley together in a food processor. (Alternatively, hand chop herbs or pound them in a mortar.) Add garlic paste and 1/4 cup olive oil and pulse to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rapid boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions, taking care to keep pasta quite al dente. It's best to use a timer, and drain pasta as soon as it's done.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed wide pot with a lid over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, fennel seed if using and pepperoncino, and let sizzle without browning, about 1 minute. Add clams, stirring to coat with a wooden spoon. Raise heat to high, add wine and put on the lid. Cook, covered, until all clams have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off heat. (Discard any clams that fail to open.)
  • Add cooked pasta and basil purée to pot and toss gently to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with basil leaves and lemon wedges.

HOT DOG PASTA SALAD



Hot Dog Pasta Salad image

The original recipe for this - which I've modified a bit - has been sitting in my computer recipe file for a long time - and I have no idea where it came from. At first I figured it was from the internet, but when I went looking with all my usual searching tools, I couldn't find it, so maybe it just showed up as an email virus attachment and parked itself in my recipe file, quietly waiting until I went insane enough to look for a salad recipe using hot dogs. Well, it happened one day last month and I decided to give it a go. I was sufficiently impressed with the results to share it with you. Oh, and kids seem to like this quite a lot as well. If you're going to serve it to little ones, make sure to cut the hot dogs up smaller (not just into circles) so as to avoid choking possiblities. Enjoy!

HOT CHICKEN AND PASTA



Hot Chicken and Pasta image

This is a chicken and pasta stir fry that is a bit spicy. I don't find it to be too hot, but if you have a tender mouth, I'd skip the chili oil and reduce the crushed red peppers. I like to use spaghetti, but the original recipe called for linguine. Recipe torn out of a newspaper from St. Petersburg, FL....no author mentioned. The secret to making this recipe easy is to have everything chopped and placed in order of addition to the wok, so your cooking time flows easily and smoothly.

Add the remaining chicken pieces to the wok, and stir-fry 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok; set aside, and keep warm.

Provided by Linda Griffith

Categories     Salads

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box betty crocker, suddenly salad classic salad mix
4 slice bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 c onion, sliced
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
4 c baby spinach
1 medium pear, cut into bite-size pieces
1 c blue cheese, crumbled
8 or 10 pepperoncini peppers, whole

Steps:

  • 1. Fill 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of water; heat to boiling. Add Pasta. Gently boil, uncovered, 12 minutes, stirring occasionally; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain well. Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon and onion, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp. Transfer bacon and onion to large bowl with slotted spoon, reserving bacon drippings. Stir Seasoning mix from packet, vinegar, brown sugar, oil and mustard into drippings. In large bowl, toss bacon and onion mixture, spinach, peppers, pear and dressing until mixed; stir in cooked pasta. Sprinkle cheese over top of salad. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Different pasta shapes hold sauce differently. For this recipe, a short pasta like penne or shells is a good choice.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta hold up better to the sauce.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own from scratch.
  • Add some heat: The "hot" in the dish's name comes from the addition of red pepper flakes. You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes you use to taste, but don't be afraid to add a little bit of heat. It really brings the dish together.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: Once the pasta is cooked and sauced, you can top it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Pasta Hot Hot Hot is a quick and easy dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
