Angel Hair Pasta with Caviar and Lemon image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings (as an appetizer)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and black pepper
Grated zest and juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon
4 ounces angel hair pasta
1 1/2 to 2 ounces American caviar or trout roe
1 small bunch chives, minced

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.

SPICY ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Spicy Angel Hair Pasta image

Categories     Pasta     Boil

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound angel hair pasta
1/2 cup Chili Oil (page 226)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
  • Stir together the chili oil, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and salt in a large bowl. Add the angel hair pasta and toss with enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten; you probably won't need more than 1/4 cup or so. Season the pasta with more salt and with red pepper flakes to taste. Transfer to individual bowls, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and herbs, and high-quality olive oil and pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the pasta. This will give the pasta plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you try to cook too much pasta at once, it will not cook evenly. Cook the pasta in batches if necessary.
  • Add the pesto to the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the pesto from separating.
  • Serve the pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a delicious nutty flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with pesto is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pesto. With its bright, fresh flavors and simple ingredients, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
