Linguini Alio Olio And Seafood Recipes

LINGUINE AGLIO E OLIO WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the shrimp marinade: Add the shrimp, oil, garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
• For the breadcrumb topping: Add the olive oil, breadcrumbs and salt to a medium skillet and cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden brown, tossing the breadcrumbs constantly, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley and toss to combine for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate so that the breadcrumbs do not continue cooking.
• For the pasta: Salt the water and start boiling the linguine (cook it 80 percent of the way, if the directions say boil for 10 minutes, boil for 8 minutes as you will finish cooking it in the sauce). At the same time add the oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and lower to medium-low heat so that the garlic sizzles gently (the garlic should not change color, if it does, it means the heat is too high and you will have a bitter burnt garlic taste and should start over).
• When the edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add the shrimp with the marinade and a pinch of salt and cook the shrimp until it is no longer opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and remove the shrimp to a bowl to prevent overcooking. Keep cooking and shaking the pan to create an emulsion (when fat suspends in water, oil and water forms a smooth bond).
• When the pasta is cooked, add it to the skillet and toss to combine. Add some pasta water if the pasta needs to cook slightly longer, otherwise toss in the parsley and stir until well incorporated. Serve on plates immediately and top with the breadcrumbs.

Stir briefly and gently to reheat. Add the remaining olive oil. Add the pasta, stirring carefully to be sure the seafood is evenly distributed. Add some of the pasta water or more olive oil, if necessary. Season with salt to your taste. Serve in a flat pasta dish or bowl. Sprinkle with chopped parsely to garnish. Serve with grated cheese if desired.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
• Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.
