ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC



Angel Hair Pasta With Roasted Garlic image

I got this recipe from the Kraft website, and it's a very good basic pasta recipe, especially if you like garlic (as we do!). To serve piping hot, you can time the cooking steps so that the pasta is cooking and the vegetables are sautéing during the last portion of time that the garlic is roasting in the oven.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large heads of garlic, unpeeled
cooking spray
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup zucchini, julienned
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup water
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked and drained

Steps:

  • Lightly spray each head of garlic with cooking spray. Wrap each garlic head separately in foil. Place garlic in a small baking pan. Bake at 400° for 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Separate garlic cloves. Squeeze cloves to extract the pulp; discard peels.
  • Place garlic pulp, mustard, lemon juice and pepper in food processor or blender container; cover. Process until pureed; set aside. (I have also done this by hand once while we were in the process of moving and I couldn't find my food processor, and it worked just fine. It's tedious, but it does work out OK.).
  • Cook and stir zucchini and mushrooms in hot oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp. Add the pureed garlic mixture, water and tomato; mix well. Reduce heat to low; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
  • Toss the vegetable mixture with hot cooked pasta, and serve while still warm.

Angel hair pasta with roasted garlic is a classic Italian dish that is both simple and irresistible. It's a favorite among pasta lovers due to its light, delicate texture and strong, aromatic flavor. This dish is relatively easy to make and requires only a few ingredients, making it a perfect go-to recipe for a quick meal. However, to make the perfect angel hair pasta with roasted garlic recipe, there are some valuable tips to keep in mind.

Tip #1: Use Fresh Ingredients

When making angel hair pasta with roasted garlic, using fresh ingredients is essential for building flavor. Use fresh angel hair pasta or make it from scratch if possible. Fresh pasta has a tender and delicate texture that complements the roasted garlic flavor. Additionally, use fresh garlic cloves, preferably from a local farmer's market, for a more robust flavor. The quality of your ingredients will significantly impact the final dish's taste and overall quality, so don't skimp on freshness.

Tip #2: Roast the Garlic Correctly

Roasting the garlic correctly is key to the recipe's success. Roasting garlic helps to soften the cloves and remove any bitterness while bringing out the natural sweetness. To roast garlic, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb, leaving the cloves intact. Cut off the top of the bulb to expose the garlic cloves. Place the bulb in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the garlic cloves are tender and golden brown. Let the garlic cool down before squeezing the cloves out of the bulb. Be patient and ensure that the garlic is roasted correctly to avoid burning or undercooking the cloves.

Tip #3: Experiment with Seasoning

Angel hair pasta with roasted garlic is a simple dish that relies heavily on seasoning to build flavor. Bland and tasteless pasta is disappointing, so don't be afraid to experiment with seasoning when making this dish. Instead of just using salt and pepper, try adding fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or oregano. You can also add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a little heat. However, be careful not to overdo the seasoning as the garlic can be overpowering if you add too much salt or spices.

Tip #4: Cook the Pasta Al Dente

Cooking pasta al dente ensures that the pasta retains its shape and texture while also providing a slightly chewy texture. When making angel hair pasta, don't overcook it, as it will become mushy and lose its delicate texture. Cook the pasta for the recommended time and try it before draining it. The pasta should be tender but still firm when bitten. Rinse the pasta with cold water after cooking to stop it from cooking any further.

Tip #5: Save Some Pasta Water

When you drain the pasta, save some of the pasta water to use in the sauce. The starchy water helps to thicken sauces and provides a silky texture that coats the pasta well. Reserve about a cup of pasta water, and add it to the sauce to loosen it up and make it more flavorful. Use the pasta water instead of regular water to enhance the dish's taste and texture.

Tip #6: Add Butter or Olive Oil

Once you've drained the pasta, add a pat of butter or drizzle of olive oil to it. The added fat will help the pasta to retain its moisture content and prevent it from drying out. Additionally, the butter or olive oil will add richness and depth to the dish's flavor. However, don't add too much fat as it can make the pasta greasy and heavy.

Tip #7: Plate The Dish Properly

The presentation of your angel hair pasta with roasted garlic is crucial as it influences how the dish is perceived. Plate the pasta carefully to make it visually appealing and appetizing. Arrange the pasta in a mound, and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or some grated parmesan cheese. Use a white or light-colored plate to help the vibrant colors of the pasta and sauce stand out.

Conclusion

Angel hair pasta with roasted garlic is a simple and flavorful dish that's perfect for a quick meal. It's easy to make, but a few valuable tips can make a significant difference. Use fresh ingredients, roast the garlic correctly, experiment with seasoning, cook the pasta al dente, save some pasta water, add butter or olive oil, and plate the dish properly. Follow these tips, and you'll be making the perfect angel hair pasta with roasted garlic recipe every time.
