Pinkspaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of water. Generously salt the water and boil the pasta for 2 minutes shy of the package instructions. Taste for doneness and drain -- the pasta should be al dente (soft but still firm, never mushy).
• Heat the oil and the garlic in a small, deep skillet over medium. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, then add the tomato paste. Continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes, season with pepper, and stir in the butter. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the campanelle pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl, add ricotta cheese, and stir so the ricotta begins to melt into the pasta.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in olive oil until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Sir tomato sauce, basil, and oregano with the onion; bring to a simmer and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour tomato sauce over the pasta and stir until the sauce and cheese evenly coat the pasta.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
• In blender add tomato sauce, cream cheese, garlic, and bouillon.

Steps:

• Slice shrimp in half length-wise, remove vein, and rinse under cold water. Drain in colander.
• Dissolve the tomato paste in the wine and have ready.
• Put the olive oil and the garlic in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Cook and stir the garlic until it is a pale gold.
• Add the wine/tomato mixture all at once to avoid splattering. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the shrimp and season with salt and a liberal grinding of pepper.
• Increase heat to medium high and cook shrimp for 2 minutes, just until done, turning them frequently to coat them in the sauce.
• Remove saucepan from heat.
• With a slotted spoon, remove about half of the shrimp and puree them using a blender or food processor (careful, they are hot!).
• Return the pureed shrimp to the saucepan and turn the heat to medium.
• Add the cream and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly till the cream thickens slightly and the sauce is hot.
• Taste and correct seasonings, if necessary.
• Toss the sauce with cooked drained pasta.
• Sprinkle with the fresh parsley.
• Serve at once.
