Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes, optional
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt
16 baby shrimp
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

Cook your pasta (by the time it's done, your sauce will be ready). Pour the olive oil into a pan over medium-high heat, and then in go the chili pepper flakes, if using, garlic and zucchini. Saute 1 minute, keeping an eye on the zucchini so it doesn't burn. Add the cherry tomatoes and some salt and cook until the zucchini and tomatoes soften.
Toss the spaghetti in the pan with the vegetables. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp (the steam from the pasta will cook the delicate shrimp quickly). Finish with the parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 friselle (double baked Italian bread)
15 cherry tomatoes, quartered
12 fresh shrimp, cleaned
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Juice and zest of 1 orange
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 basil leaves, torn
2 large balls buffalo mozzarella, sliced

Steps:

Quickly dunk your friselle in a bowl of water and then transfer to another dry bowl. You don't want them too wet - they should have a little bit of crunch in the center. Add your cherry tomatoes and set aside.
Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with the olive oil, orange zest and juice, and some salt and pepper. Let marinate 10 minutes.
Arrange the shrimp, bread and tomatoes on a serving platter along with the marinade. Add the basil and mozzarella, season with salt and pepper and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

CALAMARI MARINARA

Calamari Marinara image

Calamari has an unfair reputation for being tricky to work with and that it's rubbery when cooked. Here's the secret: cook it in 45 seconds or 45 minutes--very quickly or a long slow simmer. For this marinara dish, I use the long simmer method.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, sliced thin
1 serrano chile pepper, sliced thin
3 garlic cloves, crushed or minced
1 anchovy fillet
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup clam juice
6 cups crushed or pureed Italian plum tomatoes
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds frozen calamari (tubes and tentacles), thawed, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ cup freshly chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 (16 ounce) package dry pasta

Steps:

Drizzle olive oil into saucepan (not over heat). Add onions, Serrano pepper, garlic, anchovy filet, red pepper flakes, and salt. Place pot over medium-high heat. When onions start to sizzle after a minute or so, stir and cook until onions and garlic just start to turn golden, 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in wine.
Cook until wine is reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add clam juice, tomatoes, and oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
Transfer calamari to sauce pot; stir gently. Simmer until calamari are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Stir some sauce into the hot, drained pasta. Serve in warm bowls topped with more marinara sauce and grated cheese.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 cups cherry tomatoes, preferably a mix of red, orange, and yellow
4 Japanese eggplants, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound calamarata
4 links sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano (2 ounces), plus more for serving
Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Divide tomatoes, eggplants, and garlic between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil; season with salt. Toss to combine, then spread in a single layer. Roast until eggplants are tender and browned in spots, about 25 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook pasta 2 minutes less than instructed on package. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium-high. Cook sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add reserved pasta water; cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until almost evaporated.
In a large bowl, combine eggplant mixture, sausage, olives, pasta, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Top with basil and serve immediately, with more cheese alongside.
