Angel Hair Clam Pasta Recipe Recipes Recipe For Deviled

DEVILED FRITTATA AND HEAVENLY ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When it comes to a boil, salt the water and cook angel hair pasta to al dente, 5 minutes.
• Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and gently cook 5 minutes. Do not caramelize the onions just let them get translucent and sweet. Add celery, garlic and olives and season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in mustard and hot sauce. Beat together the eggs and 1/4 cup of the cream (eyeball it) and pour into the pan. Stir in the parsley and let the eggs settle and form a foundation, as you would for an omelet. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until golden, 12 minutes or so. Garnish with the paprika after you remove the frittata from the oven.
• Heat the remaining extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, 2 turns of the pan. Add shallots and cook 5 minutes. Add zest and wine then reduce a minute or so more. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cream, reduce 2 minutes. Add 2 ladles of starchy cooking water from the pasta to the sauce pot just before draining. Toss pasta with cheese and season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to a bowl and garnish with a large amount of fresh basil. Yum-o!

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all fresh herbs on a cutting board, and mince. You will need a very sharp knife to do this right.
• Fill a large pot with water, and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, add oil, and heat over medium heat until oil is hot.
• Drain the canned clams.
• Add clams and minced garlic to oil, and saute until clams are hot (about two minutes), stirring frequently.
• While clam and garlic mixture is heating, put the angel hair pasta in the boiling water. Cook according to the directions on the box.
• Continue stirring the clam and garlic mixture, being careful to not let the garlic burn.
• Add chopped herbs to the clam/garlic mixture, and saute for another two minutes. Remove from heat.
• When pasta is done to "al dente", remove from heat and drain water.
• Put pasta into a large bowl, and add clam/garlic/herb mixture. Mix well to prevent the pasta from sticking. Serve immediately.
• Optionally, you can add sliced or chopped fresh onion to the sauce. Also, you can substitute (or add in addition to) shrimp, chicken, scallops, crab meat, oysters, squid, etc, for the clams. It can also be topped with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, though traditionally, it is not.
• This sauce is highly flexible, and can be modified in any number of ways. I always recommend using angel hair pasta though, as it soaks up the flavors better than any other type of pasta.
