Rigatoni Alla Turca Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil with the shallot in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Once it begins to sizzle, cook the shallot, stirring occasionally, until is soft and just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, then add the tomatoes with their juices, vodka and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil, crushing the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cream, bring back to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until slightly less than al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Stand the rigatoni on their ends in the prepared springform pan until it is completely filled (you might have leftover pasta). Put the pan on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any drips. Pour the sauce over the pasta, spreading it with the back of a spoon (you might have leftover sauce). Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan.
• Cover the pan with foil, doming it slightly to avoid touching the cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the pan and continue cooking until the top is golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes more. Let the pasta cool for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the pan, sprinkle with basil, cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and saute 2 minutes;transfer garlic to small bowl, using slotted spoon.
• Add lamb to pan in batches and brown well, about 10 minutes;return garlic to pan.
• Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits.
• Add tomatoes with juices and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until lamb is tender, breaking up tomatoes with spoon, about 30 minutes.
• (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring sauce to simmer before continuing.).
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking; drain well.
• Mix pasta, beans arugala, and salt and pepper to taste into sauce and stir to heat through.

Steps:

• Add the pasta to a large pot of heavily salted boiling water. Cook according to the package instructions.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic. Continue to cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and chile paste and cook until the tomato paste begins to caramelize and slightly stick to the pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the vodka, releasing all the flavorful bits from the bottom. Continue to cook for 1 more minute. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water for later use, then drain the pasta. Add the pasta directly to the pot of sauce and toss to combine. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Continue to mix, slowly adding more pasta water as needed a splash at a time, until the desired sauce consistency is achieved. (Discard any remaining pasta water.) Top with fresh basil and more cheese.

• Once the rigatoni are boiled, fry the peppers (not very much).
• Mix the rigatoni with the tomato sauce, the peppers, the tobasco, the olive oil and the salt.

Steps:

• Peel the casings off the sausages and break the meat into small chunks. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-low heat, until cooked through; drain off the fat and crumble the sausage into small pieces.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet with the sausage and mix well. Add the cream and cook over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, drain and add to the sauce. Add the peas and grated Parmesan cheese, and mix until the pasta is well coated.

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in large pot.
• Empty Classico sauce into saucepan and heat on low.
• Add Vodka to the sauce at your discretion.
• Add heavy cream while stirring until sauce is orange in color.
• Allow sauce to reduce while stirring occasionally. In the meantime, sautee onion in pan with a liberal amount of olive oil over medium heat. When onions begin to turn pinkish in color or lose their redness
• turn off heat and mix in the basil.
• Add basil/onion mix to the sauce along with salt, black pepper and
• cayenne pepper and allow to continue cooking on lowest heat stirring occasionally.
• When water is at a rolling boil, add Rigatoni and cook until firm, stirring occasionally.
• Turn the heat for the sauce off, taste the sauce. If the sauce tastes a little bitter add sugar, if it isn't spicy enough add more red or cayenne pepper to your liking. I am a spice addict so I have toned the spiciness of this recipe down a bit.
• When pasta is cooked, strain it and place in large bowl and stir in some olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Serve sauce over pasta with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Asiago cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook pancetta until most of fat is rendered out, about 6 minutes. Remove cooked pancetta with a slotted spoon and save.
• Raise heat to high and transfer meat to the pot. Season with salt. Cook and stir until liquid releases from beef and begins to evaporate, and meat browns, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Add celery, carrots, reserved cooked pancetta, salt and pepper. Cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste, bay leaf, and white wine. Cook and stir, scraping up the brownings from the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced onions. Reduce heat to medium. Cover pot and cook 30 minutes without stirring. After 30 minutes, stir onions and meat until well mixed. Cover again, and cook another 30 minutes. Stir.
• Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off fat as mixture cooks. If sauce seems to reduce too much, add water or broth as needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency. Cook until beef and onions seem to melt into each other.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until just barely al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
• Add rigatoni to the sauce and cook until heated through. Serve topped with a pinch of marjoram and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
