Visconti Pasta With Yellow Tomatoes Garlic Recipes

VISCONTI PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES & GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil on medium-low in a heavy bottomed skillet. Gently saute the garlic and red pepper flakes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden. Add the tomatoes and their juices to the pan and without raising the heat above medium-low, simmer for 30-40 minutes. Stir and crush them gradually with a fork or wooden spoon so they melt into the sauce.
• Cook the pasta in salted water until not quite al dente, about one minute less than the package directions. Reserve some of the pasta water. Drain the pasta, then immediately toss in with the tomatoes and basil. If the tomatoes are too dry, add some of the reserved cooking water. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and garlic in a large wide pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the garlic in the oil, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and season with a big pinch of salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, mashing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until softened and saucy, about 3 minutes. (If the pot seems dry, reduce the heat to medium and add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.) Remove from the heat.
• Add the basil, pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water to the tomato sauce. Stir well and toss to coat, gradually adding the remaining cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Season with salt. Divide the pasta among bowls; top with cheese.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in a kettle, and cover with cold water. Bring just to the boil. Pour off water, and cover again with cold water. Peel. Cut into small pieces.
• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
• In a large skillet or saute pan, saute the garlic in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. The garlic should just become opaque, not brown. Stir in the tomato paste. Immediately stir in the tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer until the pasta is ready; add the basil.
• Drain the pasta, but do not rinse in cold water. Toss with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and then mix into the sauce. Reduce the heat as low as possible. Keep warm, uncovered, for about 10 minutes when it is ready to serve. Garnish generously with fresh Parmesan cheese.
• VARIATIONS: Saute fresh quartered mushrooms with the garlic, or add shoestring zucchini along with the tomato.
