Best Angel Hair Pasta With Creamy Salmon Caviar Recipes

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SALMON, ARUGULA, AND CREAMY LEMON-PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Warm your oven: Set the oven to its lowest setting (mine is 150°F) to keep the salmon warm once it's cooked.
• Start the water for pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Sear the salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick). Once the oil starts to ripple in the pan, place the salmon fillets into the pan, skin-side up. Press the fillets down gently to make sure the entire surface makes contact with the pan. Sear the salmon fillets for 3 minutes, or until the flesh turns an opaque pink 1/4 of the way up the sides of the fillets.
• Reduce the sauce and cook the pasta: Reduce the sauce in the pan by half by maintaining a boil. This should take 3 to 4 minutes.
• Cook the pasta: By now, your pasta water should be at a rolling boil. Add generous tablespoon of salt to the boiling water and drop the pasta into the middle of the pot. Stir the pasta immediately to separate the noodles. Lower the temperature slightly to prevent the water from boiling over and cook the pasta for 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente (or according to package directions). Drain the pasta.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all fresh herbs on a cutting board, and mince. You will need a very sharp knife to do this right.
• Fill a large pot with water, and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, add oil, and heat over medium heat until oil is hot.
• Drain the canned clams.
• Add clams and minced garlic to oil, and saute until clams are hot (about two minutes), stirring frequently.
• While clam and garlic mixture is heating, put the angel hair pasta in the boiling water. Cook according to the directions on the box.
• Continue stirring the clam and garlic mixture, being careful to not let the garlic burn.
• Add chopped herbs to the clam/garlic mixture, and saute for another two minutes. Remove from heat.
• When pasta is done to "al dente", remove from heat and drain water.
• Put pasta into a large bowl, and add clam/garlic/herb mixture. Mix well to prevent the pasta from sticking. Serve immediately.
• Optionally, you can add sliced or chopped fresh onion to the sauce. Also, you can substitute (or add in addition to) shrimp, chicken, scallops, crab meat, oysters, squid, etc, for the clams. It can also be topped with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, though traditionally, it is not.
• This sauce is highly flexible, and can be modified in any number of ways. I always recommend using angel hair pasta though, as it soaks up the flavors better than any other type of pasta.
