Fusilli Bucati Pasta With Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

FUSILLI BUCATI CORTI WITH ROSMARINO MAIALE MONDAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, salt, paprika, and onion powder and cook for 4 minutes, until the pork is browned, stirring with a flat-end wooden spoon to break up clumps. Add the kale and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and rosemary, and cook for 2 minutes, just long enough to unlock the aromatics. Add the vinegar and wine and use the wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits up off the bottom of the pan. Stir in the pasta water and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 2 minutes.
• Toss with pasta and ciliegine 1 minute before serving so that the ciliegine retain some of their shape but soften and stretch out a little.

FUSILLI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND OLIVE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add olives, chopped onion, chopped garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté until onion begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir until tomatoes are just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Mix in red wine vinegar. Add cooked pasta, 1 cup Parmesan cheese and fresh basil and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Serve with remaining Parmesan cheese.

BUCATINI WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND FRESH BASIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini and cook to al dente according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
• Heat a large skillet with deep sides over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When the butter is melted, add the garlic. Saute the garlic until golden, about 30 seconds, and then add the tomato puree, bay leaves and Parmesan rind. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the basil and simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce is thickened. Stir in the reserved pasta water and cooked bucatini. Toss to coat the bucatini in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the bucatini among 4 to 6 plates and garnish each with grated Parmesan and 1 basil leaf.

FUSILLI WITH FRESH POMODORO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the packaging suggests, about 8 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the flesh of the tomatoes, stopping when you are left with just the skin. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the grated tomatoes, whole basil and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove the garlic and basil stems from the pot and stir in the ricotta. Add the pasta followed by the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir to combine and coat everything in the sauce.
• Cook for another 2 minutes to finish cooking the pasta and thicken the sauce slightly, adding pasta water if the sauce ever looks too dry. Stir in the chopped basil and serve topped with additional ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
