RIGATONI AL SEGRETO (RIGATONI WITH SECRET SAUCE)



Rigatoni al Segreto (Rigatoni with Secret Sauce) image

This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded secret at Gino's, one of New York City's most famous Italian restaurants. When it closed, the recipe got out. But I think the amount of butter was way too low. So here's my version.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed (or more to taste)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can San Marzano (Italian) tomatoes, blended smooth
½ cup water (to rinse out can of tomatoes)
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked rigatoni pasta
½ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt. Cook until no longer white and starting to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook about 1 minute. Add chili flakes and blended tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer; adjust heat to medium to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 45 to 60 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes (5 minutes from doneness).
  • Add about 2/3 of the basil to the sauce. Stir in butter. When butter melts, add cheese in 3 increments.
  • Drain pasta; transfer to sauce. Stir until rigatoni are evenly coated with sauce. Serve sprinkled with the remaining basil and a dusting of grated cheese.

RIGATONI ALLA GENOVESE



Rigatoni alla Genovese image

I have no idea why this amazingly flavorful Genovese-style meat sauce isn't way more popular than it is. It's quite simply one of the best pasta sauces you'll ever taste, thanks to a very slow cooking process, and massive amounts of onions.

Time 10h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces pancetta or salt pork, diced
2 ½ pounds beef chuck
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced carrot
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
⅔ cup white wine
4 pounds yellow onions, sliced
2 pounds red onions, sliced
salt to taste
2 (16 ounce) boxes uncooked rigatoni
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram leaves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook pancetta until most of fat is rendered out, about 6 minutes. Remove cooked pancetta with a slotted spoon and save.
  • Raise heat to high and transfer meat to the pot. Season with salt. Cook and stir until liquid releases from beef and begins to evaporate, and meat browns, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high. Add celery, carrots, reserved cooked pancetta, salt and pepper. Cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste, bay leaf, and white wine. Cook and stir, scraping up the brownings from the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced onions. Reduce heat to medium. Cover pot and cook 30 minutes without stirring. After 30 minutes, stir onions and meat until well mixed. Cover again, and cook another 30 minutes. Stir.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off fat as mixture cooks. If sauce seems to reduce too much, add water or broth as needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency. Cook until beef and onions seem to melt into each other.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until just barely al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Add rigatoni to the sauce and cook until heated through. Serve topped with a pinch of marjoram and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

John Sierp's Crab Bruschetta

Steps:

  • Combine flour, garlic, oregano, sea salt, and cracked black pepper in a shallow dish; dredge chicken in flour mixture. Heat olive oil in a Dutch-oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches; saute until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
  • Using the same pan, brown pancetta over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic oil; cook until shallots are translucent. Add chicken stock 1 tablespoon at a time to prevent sticking, if necessary.
  • Increase heat to high; add sherry, and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape browned bits from bottom of pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, red pepper, if using, remaining chicken stock, and half of the basil; season with salt and pepper. Reduce to medium-low heat, and cook until sauce begins to thicken, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; season with salt. Add rigatoni, and cook according to package instructions. Drain; set aside.
  • Stir cream and remaining basil into the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Transfer rigatoni to a large serving dish; top with chicken, and pour sauce over. Sprinkle with cheese, and serve with bruschetta, if desired.
