Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 48m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ripe tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 oregano sprig
Pinch chili flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound dried angel hair pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chiffonade basil, plus whole sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH CLAMS

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 baguette
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed and soaked
1/4 cup Calabrian chiles, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons cream
4 ounces Angel hair pasta, cooked
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the toasted breadcrumbs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the baguette into large cubes. Add to a food processor and pulse until processed into crumbs. Spread the crumbs out on a baking sheet and toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and toast until golden brown, stirring as needed to evenly brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For the clams: Add the clams, 2 tablespoons of the chopped Calabrian chiles, garlic, onion, two of the thyme sprigs, white wine, 1 cup water and some kosher salt to a saucepan. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and cook just until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the clams from the broth with tongs and allow to cool. Reserve the clam broth. Discard any clams that haven't opened. Once the clams have cooled, remove from shells and chop. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: To a large high-sided saute pan, add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil and allow the butter to melt. Once melted, add the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped Calabrian chilies and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs, along with a ladleful or two of the clam broth. Bring to a boil. Add a touch of cream and the chopped clams, stirring until just combined. Remove the thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with more broth if needed, and toss.
  • Serve in a bowl, garnished with chopped parsley and toasted breadcrumbs.

Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

The Ingredients

To make this dish, you will need some key ingredients, including:
Angel hair pasta
Choose high-quality angel hair pasta, preferably one made from 100% durum wheat semolina. Always use a larger pot to cook the pasta to avoid sticking.
Clams
Fresh clams are better for this recipe. If you are purchasing precooked clams, ensure they are not tough or overcooked.
Tomatoes
Fresh, ripe tomatoes are the best for this recipe. Alternatively, you can use canned tomatoes, but ensure they are of high quality.
Basil
Fresh basil has a more vibrant flavor. When using fresh basil, chop it finely.
Parsley
Ensure you get fresh parsley and wash it well before chopping it finely.

Preparation

Cleaning the Clams
Cleaning clams can be done easily by soaking them in salted water for at least 30 minutes. This process will help to remove sand and debris. Rinse the clams with cold water and discard any clams that are open, cracked, or dead.
Cooking the Pasta
Fill a large pot with water and add salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil and add the angel hair pasta. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until al dente (firm to the bite) and then drain the pasta.
Preparing the Clam Broth
To prepare the clam broth, heat some olive oil in a large pan and sauté garlic and chili flakes (optional) for about 1-2 minutes. Add the cleaned clams and stir for a minute. Next, add a cup of white wine, stir and cover the pan for about 5 minutes; the clams should fully open up. Discard any clams that are still closed.
Preparing the Sauce
Remove the cooked clams and set aside. Add the freshly diced tomatoes and stir the mixture until they cook down completely. Then, add the clam broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and add some freshly chopped parsley and basil to the mixture.
Combining the Angel Hair Pasta and the Sauce
Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the sauce and toss it well. Next, add the cooked clams and toss again. Garnish the dish with some freshly chopped parsley and basil. Serve it piping hot.
