Angel Hair Pasta With Creamy Salmon Caviar Food

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH CAVIAR AND LEMON

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Whisk the heavy cream and sour cream in a large skillet and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat, whisking, until the mixture thickens and all the sour cream melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a few grates of lemon zest and some of the lemon juice. Taste for seasoning. At this point the sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta to the pot and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn?t clump or stick to the bottom, about 2 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream sauce. Shut off the heat and allow the pasta to rest in the sauce for 2 minutes, tossing to coat from time to time. If the sauce is too thin, simmer over low heat for 2 additional minutes. If it is too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta water. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
• Spoon a small amount of caviar onto 4 serving plates. Use a fork to twirl the pasta and make a large forkful. Use your index finger to gently coax the pasta off the fork and on top of the caviar on the plate. Repeat with the remaining plates. Spoon any leftover sauce over the pasta. Note: The sauce thickens quickly, so keep it loose with a little pasta water, if needed, as you plate. Sprinkle with the chives and a touch more grated lemon zest.

ANGEL HAIR WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is translucent, but not at all browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, then pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions. Transfer the pasta directly from the boiling water to the bowl with the tomatoes using a pasta fork or tongs. Sprinkle in the Parmesan and some of the basil and toss to coat; let stand 5 minutes so that the sauce absorbs slightly. Top with the remaining basil and a little additional olive oil and serve with additional Parmesan.

TOSSED ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the angel hair according to the package instructions.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water, if needed. Remove the infused oil from the heat, add the pasta, and toss to coat, adding pasta cooking water, if needed. Grate just a hint of Parmesan on the pasta before serving.

Steps:

• Warm your oven: Set the oven to its lowest setting (mine is 150°F) to keep the salmon warm once it's cooked.

Once the oil starts to ripple in the pan, place the salmon fillets into the pan, skin-side up. Press the fillets down gently to make sure the entire surface makes contact with the pan. Sear the salmon fillets for 3 minutes, or until the flesh turns an opaque pink 1/4 of the way up the sides of the fillets.

Stir the pasta immediately to separate the noodles.
