Orecchiette With Corn Arugula And Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
• Meanwhile, slice corn kernels from cobs into a shallow bowl, then scrape corn "milk" from cobs with the side of a spoon. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until butter browns, about 7 minutes. Add corn and corn milk; simmer just until corn is crisp-tender, about 30 seconds.
• Add corn mixture to pasta with tuna in oil and tomatoes; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta. Let cool 10 minutes. Gently fold in arugula. Serve, with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving cup cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and sauté until mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and stir until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add wine; bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
• Add arugula, cheese and pasta to sauce. Toss until arugula wilts, cheese begins to melt and pasta is heated through, adding reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until it is just short of al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
• While pasta cooks, make the sauce: In a 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add jalapeño, and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add corn, and cook until it begins to brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt. Add 1/4 cup of pasta water and bring to simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add pasta to skillet, tossing to coat with sauce. Add feta cheese and an additional 1/4 cup of pasta water, tossing until pasta is slick and glossy with sauce. If needed, add in another 1/4 cup pasta water. Stir in basil. Transfer to a large bowl and scatter with remaining basil. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Start bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil on medium-low in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and allow to cook 10 minutes, until oil is fragrant but garlic has not browned. Remove garlic (save for another use). When water boils, stir in pasta.
• Add tomatoes to oil in sauté pan, increase heat to medium-high and, when tomatoes start to shrivel and collapse, reduce heat to low and cook until softened but not shapeless, about 5 minutes. Stir a couple of times. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
• Drain pasta and add to tomatoes, folding both together. Add some pasta water if needed for moistening. Fold in arugula and remaining oil. When arugula has just wilted, season dish with salt and pepper. Serve with a dusting of cheese.
