Angel Hair Pasta With Tuna Food

TUNA WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA AND DILL

Steps:

• Cook pasta to desired doneness as directed on package adding 1 teaspoon salt to cooking water. Drain; cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and carrots; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth and lemon juice; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture boils. Reduce heat to medium-low; add tuna. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar snap peas; cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until carrots and peas are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in dill and lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Place pasta in individual serving bowls. Top each serving with tuna mixture.

FIERY ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Stir the oil, parsley, lemon juice and lemon peel in a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and toss with enough reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and red pepper flakes, to taste. Sprinkle grated lemon peel over pasta for extra flavor and texture. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve.
• Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil in a blender and blend to a puree. Add the cheese, salt and pepper, and blend again.
• Cook the pasta in the boiling, salted water until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the pesto and toss. Taste for salt and pepper, and add a drizzle of oil, if you like.

BAKED FISH DUGLER-INI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To a small skillet preheated over medium heat, add extra-virgin olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook onions 5 minutes, until translucent. Add wine to the pan and reduce for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and break up the sliced stewed tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they heat through. When the sauce comes to a boil (2 or 3 minutes) remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Pour a few spoonfuls of sauce into the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Add fish to the dish in a single layer. Add remaining sauce and bake 15 to 17 minutes until fish is firm and opaque.
• Remove fish to serving plate or dinner plates. Spoon a few bits of tomato and sauce over the fish. To the remaining sauce in the baking dish add 2 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces. Add hot pasta to butter and sauce and turn pasta in dish to coat evenly and to allow pasta to absorb juices. Pile pasta alongside fish and serve. If you are entertaining, try bundling portions of pasta around a large, 2-pronged meat fork, by twisting the fork in the pasta allowing it to curl up the fork. Shimmy the twisted pasta off the fork on to a plate you will create pasta "nests." This simple "twist" adds a lot to the plate presentation.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH TUNA AND TOMATO SAUCE

Add both bell peppers, jalapeño and minced garlic; sauté until peppers are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, 1/3 cup cilantro, wine, water, lemon juice and dried red pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix flour and garlic powder in shallow bowl. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Coat with flour mixture, shaking off excess. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in another heavy large skillet over high heat. Add tuna to skillet and sauté until just opaque on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Bring sauce to simmer over medium heat. Add tuna; cook until opaque in center, about 2 minutes.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all fresh herbs on a cutting board, and mince. You will need a very sharp knife to do this right.
• Fill a large pot with water, and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, add oil, and heat over medium heat until oil is hot.
• Drain the canned clams.
• Add clams and minced garlic to oil, and saute until clams are hot (about two minutes), stirring frequently.
• While clam and garlic mixture is heating, put the angel hair pasta in the boiling water. Cook according to the directions on the box.
• Continue stirring the clam and garlic mixture, being careful to not let the garlic burn.
• Add chopped herbs to the clam/garlic mixture, and saute for another two minutes. Remove from heat.
• When pasta is done to "al dente", remove from heat and drain water.
• Put pasta into a large bowl, and add clam/garlic/herb mixture. Mix well to prevent the pasta from sticking. Serve immediately.
• Optionally, you can add sliced or chopped fresh onion to the sauce. Also, you can substitute (or add in addition to) shrimp, chicken, scallops, crab meat, oysters, squid, etc, for the clams. It can also be topped with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, though traditionally, it is not.
• This sauce is highly flexible, and can be modified in any number of ways. I always recommend using angel hair pasta though, as it soaks up the flavors better than any other type of pasta.
