PARMESAN AND PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring water to a rolling boil and add a dash of salt and the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks for 8-10 minutes (depending on desired firmness), chop peppers into small chunks. Chop the tomato into about 16 different segments - any smaller, and they will get lost when you mix all the ingredients together.
• Sprinkle peppers and tomato with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Remove pasta from heat, drain water, and empty into a different container. Set aside.
• Using the same pot (this makes sure you get the most flavor, so don't switch pots), put in half a tablespoon of red pepper olive oil and let it coat the bottom. Dump in half of the chopped peppers; stir them in the oil to make sure they are coated.
• Let the peppers cook for about 5 minutes (or until tender), stirring occasionally to make sure they aren't sticking to the bottom. Then empty them into the container with the pasta.
• Add another half tablespoon of red pepper olive oil to the pan, let it coat the bottom, and let the other half of the peppers cook for about 5 minutes. Then empty them into the pasta container as well.
• Add the last half tablespoon of red pepper oil to the pan and let it coat the bottom. Add the tomato chunks. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the pasta and peppers back into the pot with the tomatoes and stir.
• Add pasta sauce, parmesan cheese, and pesto. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
• Add oregano, basil, and pepper. Mix.

PASTA WITH BLACK PEPPER AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta: Mound durum flour on a clean work surface. Make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well. Add 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. With a fork, whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating the flour. Slowly drizzle the water, one tablespoon at a time, into the egg mixture. When the dough holds together, begin kneading the dough to work in the remainder of the flour. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth, about 10 minutes. Form into a ball, and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
• Dust a baking sheet with semolina; set aside. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough crosswise into slices 1/16 inch thick. Using your thumb, press the slices into coinlike pieces. They should be slightly larger than a quarter. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; set aside for 30 minutes to dry.
• In a large saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add the reserved pasta, and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain; reserving stock. In a large saute pan, heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the pasta and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups reserved stock. Bring to a boil, stirring gently to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low, and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and parsley; stir to combine. Let simmer for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Serve immediately.
