Spicy Spaghettini With Sea Urchin And Tomatoes Recipes

SPAGHETTINI WITH SPICY SEAFOOD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
• While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

SPAGHETTINI WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrot, bell pepper, onion and garlic and saut´ until tender, about 10 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes with puree, stewed tomatoes with juices, wine, dried red pepper and oregano. Bring to simmer. Cook sausage in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to sauce. Reserve dripping in skillet. Cover sauce partially and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Add mushrooms and zucchini to skillet with drippings; saut´ over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir into sauce. Simmer uncovered until sauce is thick, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar. Season with salt, pepper and more dried red pepper, if desired. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to simmer before using.)
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl. Toss pasta with enough sauce to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve, passing Parmesan and remaining sauce separately.

SPICY SPAGHETTINI WITH SEA URCHIN AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Break or cut pasta in half to help it cook evenly. Meanwhile, in a skillet large enough to hold pasta later on, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, reduce heat to low, and slowly cook on all sides, turning often, until cloves are lightly browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Raise heat under skillet to medium, add chili flakes and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently, just until wilted.
• When water boils, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and pasta. Stir well and bring back to boil. Cook, stirring often. When pasta is cooked through but still firm, drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
• Turn heat under skillet to low. Add about 3/4 of the sea urchin to skillet with a sprinkle of salt and a splash of pasta cooking water. Add pasta to skillet and toss thoroughly but gently over low heat, adding pasta cooking water and more oil to taste if mixture is dry. Taste for salt and toss in lemon zest, if using, and parsley. Serve hot, decorating each serving with remaining sea urchin.
