Spaghetti Ala Steve Recipes

THAT ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI STANLEY TUCCI LOVES (SPAGHETTI ALLA NERANO)

Steps:

• Place sunflower oil in a deep fryer and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice zucchini into 1/8-inch rounds.
• Add some zucchini to the hot oil and deep-fry until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a single layer on paper towels to drain and repeat to cook remaining zucchini. Let zucchini cool to room temperature.
• Transfer cooled zucchini to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until it's 2 minutes away from being tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes.
• As you are cooking the spaghetti, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to release juices, soften, and break down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a couple splashes of the pasta water to the zucchini, but don't overdo it. Break zucchini into small pieces with the edge of a spoon or spatula. Reduce heat to low and toss in basil and butter; stir until butter melts.
• Grab spaghetti with tongs and transfer it right into the sauce; stir until coated. Mix in Pecorino Romano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses. Add a final splash of pasta water and adjust salt if needed.
• Serve with more grated cheese and fresh basil.

PASTA SUBITO BY LUCIANO PAVAROTTI

Steps:

• First, sing the tenor part of an opera (preferably Verde). Then go to a friends house and find a large mixing bowl. Lovenly place all the ingredients (per favore, not the spaghetti) into the bowl and mix with an available device - not your hands please.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of rapidly boiling water, but not until it's mush, rather al dentissimo, on the hard side. Drain please.
• Now caro, take the largest available bowl and mix the steaming hot spaghetti and the sauce with speed and precision. Put it on the table, pour a big glass of Brunello di Montalcino (at least 20 years old) and, for the moment, disregard the world around you.
