Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 pound penne
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (6 ounces)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, such as cremini, button or shiitake, sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup medium green olives (about 18), pitted and halved
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
One 10-ounce or two 5-ounce cans tuna in olive oil, such as Tonnino, drained
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Place the pasta and 1/2 cup cheese in a large bowl and toss until coated.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the olives, tomato paste, capers, red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the tuna. Using a wooden spoon, break up the tuna into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the garlic and discard.
  • Pour the tuna mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the basil, and toss until coated, using the reserved cooking liquid to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Provided by Amanda Gryphon

Categories     Beverages

Time 2h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 seedless watermelon
1 bunch mint
1/2 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cups vodka
2 cups prosecco
3 skewers

Steps:

  • Carving the watermelon: Select a ripe, oblong watermelon that has a flat bottom. Carve off the top quarter of the watermelon and set aside to use for sails.
  • Scoop out all of the watermelon innards and set aside for making punch. Once the watermelon's empty, use a pumpkin carving set to carve notches and portholes into the sides of the watermelon to make it look like a pirate ship.
  • For the sails, scrape out the 1/4 shell of watermelon rind down to the white portion. Cut sails from either end of this piece and thread them through skewers. Stick the skewers into the bottom of the watermelon (being careful not to poke through the bottom) and use extra pieces of rind for stability.
  • Make the punch: Add 2 cups of the reserved watermelon to a blender with mint.
  • Puree until mint is finely chopped and watermelon is frothy.
  • Strain watermelon and mint mixture through a sieve.
  • Pour 6 cups of watermelon-mint juice into large pitcher and add lime juice and vodka.
  • Pour this mixture into the carved watermelon, add large ice rounds and top with prosecco.
