Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces bucatini noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the bucatini and cook according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.

Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir to combine.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound bucatini pasta
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets, oil reserved
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/4 inch slices
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the anchovies and their oil with the red pepper flakes and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up the anchovies as you stir. Once the garlic begins to sizzle, add the sliced zucchini, and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the grape tomatoes, and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender, and the skins of the tomatoes begin to pop, 5 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with oregano and basil, then stir in shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent. Pour over bucatini to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh seafood, flavorful tomatoes, and a good quality white wine will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil adds a rich, flavorful base to the dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste. If you like more or less garlic, add or reduce the amount. If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. The key is to make it your own.

Conclusion:

Scampi Bucatini is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and garlic, it's a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Scampi Bucatini a try.
