Spaghetti Livornese Recipes

FARFALLE LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Heat large covered saucepot of salted water to boiling on high. Add pasta and cook as label directs, adding green beans to saucepot 2 minutes before pasta is done.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle tuna with 1/4 teaspoon salt to season both sides. In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil on medium-high until hot. Add tuna and cook 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium; cover skillet and cook 5 to 8 minutes longer or until tuna is almost opaque throughout, turning over once halfway through cooking. Transfer tuna to plate.
• To same skillet, add remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and garlic, and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, capers, lemon peel, and crushed red pepper; heat to boiling on medium-high. Boil 1 minute. While vegetables are cooking, with 2 forks, flake tuna into bite-size pieces.
• Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta and green beans, and return to saucepot; stir in vegetable mixture from skillet, flaked tuna, chopped parsley, and reserved pasta cooking water, and toss to coat. Transfer to warm bowls, and garnish each serving with caper berries if you like.

RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold the snapper fillets, over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and capers and continue cooking until onion is translucent 3-5 minutes.
• Lay the red snapper fillets skin side down in the pan, and add the marinara sauce and white wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and place the pan in the oven.
• Bake in the oven until fish is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully transfer fish to serving plates, spoon sauce over fish and serve.

CIOPPINO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat. Add the fennel, onion, shallots, and salt and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and 3/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and saute 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add tomatoes with their juices, wine, fish stock and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
• Add the clams and mussels to the cooking liquid. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels begin to open, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and fish. Simmer gently until the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, and the clams are completely open, stirring gently, about 5 minutes longer (discard any clams and mussels that do not open). Season the soup, to taste, with more salt and red pepper flakes.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, capers, black olives, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 11x7 inch baking dish, and arrange the snapper fillets in a single layer in the dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets, and then pour the remaining sauce over all.
• Bake for 15 minutes for 1/2 inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1 inch thick fillets. Baste once with the sauce while baking. Snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
• While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
• When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
• Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
• Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
• Enjoy!
