FARFALLE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well; reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, heat oil from tomatoes in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chopped tomatoes and white wine. Boil until wine is reduced slightly, about 3 minutes. Add arugula; toss until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Add pasta and 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to sauce in skillet. Toss until well blended. Moisten pasta with reserved cooking liquid, if desired. Season pasta to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer pasta to plates. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve.

FARFALLE WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATOES, AND CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. Sauté until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender and sausage is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add tomatoes and cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sausage mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot. Add sausage mixture and toss over medium-low heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry. Transfer pasta to serving dish. Sprinkle with basil. Serve, passing cheese separately.

FARFALLE WITH SUN DRIED TOMATO, GARLIC & WINE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a Magic Bullet processor or in whatever type of food processor you own or good, sharp bladed blender and process until the sauce is as smooth as you would like. You can leave it chunky or process a more smooth sauce. I did a combination of both for this one. I used about 4 cups of uncooked Barilla farfalle pasta and then cooked it for about 11 minutes or until it is al dente. I then drained the pasta and then in a small non-stick omelette pan, I added the amount of sauce you want to use for your serving(s), and heated on medium heat until warmed and the alcohol is flashed off. By the time you warm the sauce the pasta will be cooked. Take a pasta fork or colander or long handled spider made of bamboo with wire-my favorite. I have been making my lunches at night to take with me for the next day. It is much cheaper, better tasting, better for me and is just better all around. Variations & Additions: Adding steamed peas to the dish when completed would be a great addition, giving more color and texture and of course flavor. Also, fresh basil julienned sliced or Italian sausage cooked and sliced or chopped. This would make a dinner or great lunch course. Come join my blog at: http://www.CookingUpAStorminCA.ning.com
