COLD SPAGHETTI WITH SPICY RAW SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium heat for the pasta.
• Broil or char the red bell pepper under hot broiler with oven door slightly ajar or roast it over flame burner holding the pepper with tongs. Put the pepper into bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let cool, then peel, seed and finely chop. Set aside.
• When the water comes to a boil, add some salt. Cut an X shaped mark gently through the tomato skins at the stem end, then add them to the boiling water. Boil for 1 full minute, then remove them with a spider or tongs and cool on the counter for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not cold shock. The heat will gently cook the tomato a bit. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook to al dente. Drain, run under cold water and drain again.
• Put the extra-virgin olive oil into a large shallow serving dish and stir in the chile and grated or garlic paste.
• Peel the tomatoes and cut them in half; seed and chop. Add them to the garlic oil mixture along with the chopped roasted red bell pepper. Stir in most of the basil, reserving a little for garnish.
• Add the pasta and toss to combine. Garnish with extra basil and black pepper and serve.

SPICY AND SAUCY CHERRY TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Pat the capers dry, then add them to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the capers to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until tomato paste darkens in color and deepens in flavor, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
• While the pasta cooks, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup pasta cooking water from the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to fall apart and the liquid becomes saucy, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the pasta, and transfer it to the skillet with the sauce to combine. (If your skillet is too full to accommodate the pasta, you can transfer the cooked pasta back to the pot, then add the sauce to combine.) Stir in half the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide among plates or bowls and top with capers and remaining basil, plus cheese and whole basil leaves. Serve immediately.

COLD PASTA WITH SPICY ROASTED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put the tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until the skin begins to blister, about 30 minutes. Set aside until cool. Meanwhile, pour the vegetable broth into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the rosemary and steep for 1 minute. Strain and cool in the refrigerator.
• Place a large sieve above a glass or ceramic bowl. Peel, seed and core all of the tomatoes over the sieve. Coarsely chop 6 of the tomatoes and set them aside. Crush the remaining 2 tomatoes over the bowl, pushing the pulp through the mesh to extract as much juice as possible. Discard pulp and seeds.
• Combine the roasted garlic, anchovy fillets, capers and half of the olives in a bowl. Smash into a paste. Set aside. Combine the rosemary essence, roasted-tomato juice, sugar and vinegar in a large salad bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper. Add the garlic paste, chopped tomatoes, pasta, remaining olives, basil and oregano. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cook the pasta in boiling water until tender. Drain. Add it to the vinaigrette and toss. Refrigerate until chilled.
