Garlic And Rosemary Pasta Food

LINGUINE WITH CRISP CHICKPEAS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Meanwhile, make the rosemary oil: Pat the rosemary dry with a kitchen towel. In a large Dutch oven or skillet big enough to hold all the pasta, warm the oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the rosemary sprigs and fry, flipping once, until sizzling subsides and leaves are crisp, 3 or 4 minutes.
• Transfer the sprigs to a paper towel-lined plate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Keep the pot with the oil on the stove.
• Add pasta to the boiling water, and cook to al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, with the rosemary oil over medium-high heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and chickpeas and fry, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. If some of the chickpeas explode like popcorn, that's a good sign.
• As the chickpeas cook, remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs (pinch the top of the sprig and swipe downwards). If any do not come off easily, they aren't fully fried: Throw them back into the oil with the chickpeas and remove them after a quick fry. Crumble the leaves by rubbing them between your fingers, and set aside.
• Once the chickpeas are crisp, season with salt and pepper, reduce heat to low and stir in the pasta, adding pasta water as needed to form a glossy sauce. Stir in the parsley and crumbled rosemary leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with a lemon wedge for squeezing. Top with grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 5 to 7 min. or until no longer pink. Add next 3 ingredients; cook and stir 4 min. or until chicken is done.
• Drain pasta. Add to chicken mixture in skillet along with the cheese; mix lightly.

PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Follow the Pasta with Tender Vegetables recipe, adding rosemary to the Sauteed mushrooms and parsley when tossing the pasta.

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves, then place on a piece of foil, cut-side up. Sprinkle exposed cloves with salt, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast until soft and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
• When you're ready to make the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, in a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the oil and cook, breaking them up with your spoon, until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few generous grinds of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat to infuse the oil while the pasta finishes cooking.
• When the pasta's done, heat the garlic oil over medium, then add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and the parsley, and simmer, tossing constantly and adding more pasta water as needed, until the pasta is glossed with sauce.
• Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper and Parmesan.

ROSEMARY PASTA IN ROASTED GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over low heat.
• Add the onions; cook and stir until they turn a deep brown, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
• Mix in the chicken stock and rosemary, and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Cook until reduced by 1/3, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• Add the spaghetti pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain, then add noodles to the sauce in the skillet.
• Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve in a large bowl family style, or place about 1 cup of pasta in a large mug or small bowl.
• Insert a dinner fork in the center of the pasta and twirl the fork around, holding the mug steady; the pasta will wind up tighter and tighter as you turn.
• Remove the fork and immediately turn the pasta out onto a dinner plate or shallow bowl.
• Garnish with extra cheese and rosemary sprigs.

SPAGHETTI WITH TRUFFLE OIL, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

• Boil spaghetti in 3 quarts salted water with a touch of milk in the water, as well as a tablespoon of oil.
• When al dente, drain pasta, toss with onion, garlic and rosemary.
• Add parmesan and toss again.
• Drizzle the truffle oil on top of each individual serving. (Ok, now I'm drooling. Must hide this fact from guests.).
• Garnish with fresh chopped rosemary--just a pinch.
