Angel Hair Pasta With Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes Lemon And Tuna Recipes

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES, LEMON AND TUNA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Meanwhile in a 11-12 inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Add the tomatoes (WARNING: be careful of splattering oil and juice) and cook until tomatoes begin to collapse and their juices run and begin to thicken, 6-10 minutes.
• Note: If you have stubborn tomatoes, you may need to crush them a bit with a spatula or pierce them with a knife.
• Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tuna, pepperoncini, capers, lemon juice, butter and the lemon zest.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm while pasta cooks.
• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• Drain well, arrange in individual serving bowls, top with sauce and parsley.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in several quarts of salted water (keep an eye on it - angel hair cooks a lot faster than other pasta and you don't want it mushy). Place it in a large serving bowl, add the basil and Parmesan cheese and toss to mix.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic for a minute or so until it *just* begins to change color. Add the wine and cook until it has been reduced by about half (2-4 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice and tomatoes and remove the sauce from heat until the pasta is ready.
• Pour lemon-tomato sauce over pasta mixture, add salt and pepper to taste and toss to mix. Serve with extra Parmesan on the side, if desired.
