CRISPY PAN-FRIED PENNE PASTA WITH ARRABIATA SAUCE AND CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Before You Cook Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray Be sure to scrape out all the cream sauce from the carton; some might stick! If using any fresh produce, thoroughly rinse and pat dry Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil Cooking Guidelines To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures: Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) | Seafood 145° F | Chicken 165° F | Ground Beef 160° F | Ground Turkey 165° F | Ground Pork 160° F 1 Prepare the Ingredients Cut end off romaine, halve lengthwise, then coarsely chop. Mince garlic. Cut cauliflower florets into even, bite-sized pieces no larger than 1". 2 Roast Cauliflower and Make Caesar Dressing Place cauliflower florets on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast 12 minutes or until almost tender. Remove from oven, sprinkle with half the Parmesan, and roast 7 more minutes, or until cheese browns lightly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, half the garlic, and remaining Parmesan (reserving a pinch for garnish). Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. 3 Cook the Pasta Add penne pasta to boiling water and cook 9 minutes until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water for sauce. Drain pasta in colander, being sure to drain as thoroughly as possible. While in colander, drizzle and toss pasta with 2 tsp. olive oil to keep from sticking. Return pot to stove (no need to wipe clean.) 4 Make the Arrabiata Sauce In pot used to cook pasta, heat 1 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add remaining garlic and red pepper flakes (a little goes a long way with red pepper flakes, so use less if you prefer a milder sauce) and cook 20 seconds until fragrant. Add Italian seasoning and tomato paste and cook 1 more minute. Add crushed tomatoes and reserved pasta water, bring to a simmer, and cook 5-8 minutes until thickened slightly. Set aside and keep warm. 5 Pan Fry the Pasta Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until oil is hot and shimmering. Working in batches, add a single layer of pasta to pan. Allow to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Not moving pasta around allows it to brown and develop a highly desirable crispness. After underside has browned, stir gently and cook 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't worry if pasta only browns on one side: two different textures are ideal. Keep finished batches warm on baking sheet in oven. 6 Plate the Dish Place a pool of arrabiata sauce on bottom of plate. Top with pan-fried penne and roasted cauliflower. Top with one more spoonful of sauce and remaining Parmesan. Toss romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and serve salad on the side.

CRISPY FRIED GARLIC RECIPE

Steps:

• Before cooking, prepare a clean, dry fine-mesh strainer or sieve over a bowl (to catch the oil). Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Pour oil into a cold pan. Add garlic and heat pan over medium- to medium-low heat. Shake to disperse the garlic and cook over medium-low heat until garlic starts to crisp and reaches a light golden color throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour garlic out into the strainer over the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and shake to remove excess oil into the bowl. Pour dry garlic out onto the paper towel-lined plate and let cool completely for best crisp.
• Optional pre-step: bring garlic to a boil in a pot of water. Add garlic slices to a pot of water, just enough to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Strain garlic, then proceed with the recipe. This helps remove extra sugars from the garlic to ensure even browning while it fries.

FRIED EGG, RED PEPPER, GARLIC, AND HERB TOPPING FOR PASTA

Steps:

• While the pasta for this dish is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and cook, sunny-side up, basting with a spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, or until the eggs are just done (the yolks must remain runny). Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle eggs with coarse salt and hot red pepper flakes.

Place the pasta on a serving platter and toss with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, additional red pepper flakes, and parsley. Pour the contents of the egg pan, including the oil, butter, and garlic, onto the pasta. Garnish pasta and eggs with oregano or sage and serve immediately. Pass the additional Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.
