QUICK ARRABBIATA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and grated onion and saute for 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomato paste, red pepper flakes and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a simmer and reduces slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the pasta to the skillet with the sauce, adding a little pasta water if need be, and toss together. Plate high and mighty and garnish with basil leaves and fresh Parmesan.

GEMELLI WITH CHEESE AND QUICK ARRABBIATA SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juices and wine; bring to boil. Boil until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Stir in basil. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add pasta and 1/2 cup cheese to sauce and toss until cheese melts and sauce coats pasta, adding reserved water by tablespoonfuls to moisten if necessary, about 3 minutes. Season pasta to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining 1/2 cup cheese separately.

GARLIC AND PARMESAN GEMELLI PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep skillet. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and cut into small chunks.
• Add remaining oil, butter, and garlic to the skillet and begin cooking over low heat. Add cilantro and basil and stir to keep the mixture moving. Slowly add cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Cook, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning, for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Drain pasta and return to the pot. Pour in sauce and toss to coat.
