SPAGHETTI

Spaghetti No. 3

Posted on by davide

INGREDIENTS
FOR 2 PEOPLE

250 g Rummo Spaghetti N° 3
500 g fresh oblong tomatoes
Fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
Fresh chili pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt, as needed

DIRECTIONS

After making two incisions in the shape of a cross in the bottom of the tomatoes, plunge them into boiling water for about 1 minute. Take them out and let them cool down rapidly in a bowl with cold water and ice. The skin will split, and can then be easily pulled off. Peel all, and cut into strips. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, heat olive oil, garlic, chili pepper and basil. Add the tomato strips and sauté all together for 1 minute. Salt and turn off the flame. Cook the Spaghetti in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Once cooked, drain directly into the sauté pan with the tomatoes. Turn on the flame and sauté. Remove from the heat. Take out the garlic and the red pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil and more basil leaves. Plate, garnishing with a small sprig of basil. Dinner’s ready!

Spaghetti No. 3

Posted on by davide

INGREDIENTS

FOR 2 PEOPLE

250 g Rummo Spaghetti n° 3
1 kg freshest clams in their shells
Bottarga (salted & dried mullet or tuna roe), to taste
Lemon zest, to taste
Parsley
1 chili pepper
2 cloves of garlic
1⁄2 glass dry white wine

DIRECTIONS

Soak the clams in salted water (40 g of fine sea salt to a liter of water). Meanwhile, use a peeler to remove several strips of zest from a lemon, finely chop the leaves from a few sprigs of parsley (set aside). In a wide sauté pan, sauté the remaining parsley stems, garlic, lemon zest and chili pepper in olive oil. When the clams have released their salt and grit, rinse them and pour them into the same pan. Sauté quickly. Add the wine, toss a few times to blend, then cover and cook until the alcohol evaporates. Remove the clam shells one by one as they open (to avoid overcooking) until all open. (Never force a shell to open. If it stays closed, do not serve or eat it.) Keep the cooking liquid (this is called “acqua santa” or “holy water” in Naples) and filter it to remove the garlic, zest, chili pepper, parsley stems and any grit. Remove ⅔ of the clams from their shells (using another shell is an excellent method!) and let them sit in the “acqua santa.” Set aside the other 1/3, still in their shells. Salt a pot of water, bring it to a boil and cook the spaghetti, draining when still extremely “al dente” (almost uncooked) directly into the sauté pan. Add a little of the pasta’s cooking water and some of the filtered liquid. Sauté briefly. Add the remaining “acqua santa” with the shelled clams as well as the clams still in their shells. Continue tossing and sautéing, adding some chopped parsley, mixing the flavors and finishing the cooking of the spaghetti. Plate, paying attention to finish each serving with a proper ratio of shelled and unshelled clams and some creamy sauce from the pan. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a grating of bottarga to taste. Buon appetito!

Spaghetti No. 3

Posted on by davide

INGREDIENTS

FOR 2 PEOPLE

250 g Rummo Spaghetti n° 3
2 cloves of garlic
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Fresh red chili pepper, to taste
4 tinned anchovies
Parsley, to taste
½ Neapolitan tarallo, to taste

DIRECTIONS

After peeling and finely chopping 2 cloves of garlic, smash and rub them with the side of the knife blade until reaching a creamy consistency. Chop a few leaves of parsley and cut the chili pepper into very thin slices. Bring a pot of abundant boiling, salted water to the boil and the pasta (which you’ll cook for half the recommended time). In a pan, heat over a low flame the olive oil and add the anchovies. When they’ve cooked (i.e. dissolved) add the garlic. Turn off the flame and add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water so the garlic doesn’t burn. Add the chopped chili pepper, then, at half the pasta’s cooking time (see 3) transfer the pasta directly into the same sauté pan and finish cooking it with the garlic, oil and chili pepper over high heat, adding reserved cooking water as needed until the spaghetti are cooked. Toss to mix flavors well, and remove from flame. Add the chopped garlic. Plate, adding the sauce from the pan as desired, and topping with crumbled tarallo. Buon appetito!
