Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound spaghettini or spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 cup sliced garlic
1/2 teaspoon finely minced Calabrian chiles, or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pint small cherry tomatoes, stems removed, crushed between your thumb and forefinger
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, each torn into 2 or 3 pieces
Gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, for grating

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and stir.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until the slivers are golden brown and crisp, then add the chiles and cook for about 30 seconds. Raise the heat to high and add the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the juices thicken, about 3 minutes. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper.
  • When the pasta is al dente, scoop out about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the warm pot off the heat. Add the sauce and mix well. Add some of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and grate Parmesan over the top, to taste. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon roughly chopped onions
4 cups canned whole plum tomatoes (about one 35-ounce can)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 fresh basil leaves
One 6-ounce can Italian tuna packed in olive oil
1 pound spaghetti or linguine

Steps:

  • Warm 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushing them well with the back of a slotted spoon or by squeezing them through your fingers while adding them to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Drain half of the olive oil from the canned tuna. Flake the tuna into the tomato sauce. Cover and simmer to heat through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside while the pasta cooks. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain, then toss the pasta with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add about 3 ladlesful of sauce and continue tossing. Distribute evenly among four dinner plates. Ladle the remaining sauce on top, and serve immediately.

ORECCHIETTE CON RICOTTA E POMODORINI: ORECCHIETTE PASTA WITH RICOTTA AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Orecchiette con Ricotta e Pomodorini: Orecchiette Pasta with Ricotta and Cherry Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound orecchiette pasta
15 to 20 cherry tomatoes, quartered
3/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
Bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
Salt

Steps:

  • In a pot of boiling water, cook the pasta for about 8 minutes (remove before the 'al dente' stage). While pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the cherry tomatoes for about a minute. Add salt to taste.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.
  • Add the cooked pasta and ricotta cheese to the pan. Ladle in some pasta water - the excess pasta water will break down the ricotta cheese, creating a creamy sauce.
  • Cook pasta in the pan with all the other ingredients for another minute. Top with cilantro, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet cherry tomatoes. This will ensure that your sauce is flavorful and delicious.
  • Use a good quality pecorino cheese. Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano are both excellent choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. This will prevent them from steaming and becoming watery.
  • Cook the tomatoes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. This will bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and a sprinkling of pecorino cheese. You can also garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti con Pomodorini e Pecorino is a simple yet delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The combination of sweet cherry tomatoes, savory pecorino cheese, and fragrant basil is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking.
