QUICK ANGEL HAIR WITH BASIL CREAM FOR ONE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Once done, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Keep warm.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes. Dilute with the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick for your taste. Pour the sauce over the angel hair pasta to serve.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Boil pasta according to package directions for al dente pasta. Make sure to salt the water.
• While waiting for water to boil and pasta to cook, add olive oil and butter to a large sauté pan. (You want the pan to be large enough that you will be able to add the pasta once it finishes cooking.)
• Once butter has melted, add garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Sauté, stirring constantly, until it starts to turn golden brown. Do not overcook the garlic. Once it starts to turn a light brown or golden, remove from heat.
• Once pasta is done, drain and quickly add it to the garlic, olive oil, butter mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
• Add grated Parmesan and squeeze of lemon, if desired. Toss again. At this point, taste it and decide if you need to add more salt. You can also drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.
• Salt to taste if needed and serve immediately. I like to reserve a spoonful of the sautéed garlic to put in the center of the serving dish with a little more Parmesan cheese...as pictured.
• Enjoy!

GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the water.
• Melt 1 tablespoon in a large skillet over high heat. Saute shrimp in hot butter until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl, retaining liquid in the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook onion and garlic in the retained liquid in the skillet until the onions are translucent 5 to 7 minutes. Stir tomatoes into the onion mixture; cook and stir until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
• Stir asparagus into the tomato mixture and add the reserved water from cooking the pasta; bring liquid to a simmer and cook until the asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and angel hair pasta; stir. Cook until the shrimp is completely opaque in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and garnish with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.

FRESH TOMATO, BASIL, AND GARLIC SAUCE OVER ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice-water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
• Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.

ANGEL HAIR WITH CRUSHED TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously salt it.
• 2. Cut a slit in the stem end of each tomato. Gently lower the tomatoes into the boiling water. Boil until the skin peels back from the slits, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Keep the water boiling.
• 3. While the tomatoes cool, on a cutting board, finely mince the garlic with the sugar into a paste. Peel off and discard the tomato skins, then transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl. With your hands, crush the tomatoes until chunky. Add the garlic-sugar paste and oil and crush the tomatoes into fine bits.
• 4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente. Drain and transfer to the tomato sauce. Toss well. Tear the basil leaves into the bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again.
• 5. Wipe up any oil drips or tomato sauce splatters from the counter with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes*.
• *Use as directed. For surfaces that may come in contact with food, a potable water rinse is required.
