MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE



Midnight Pasta With Roasted Garlic, Olive Oil and Chile image

This recipe is a version of aglio e olio pasta, which is often known as midnight pasta because it can be made quickly with a few pantry staples: garlic, olive oil, red-pepper flakes and pasta. This recipe takes a bit more time because it calls for roasting the garlic first, but doing so adds a complex, mellow flavor to the entire dish. If you're a planner, you could even roast a couple of heads of garlic in advance. (Roasted garlic will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for up to two months.) Add whatever vegetables or proteins look good to you.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head of garlic
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup firmly packed parsley leaves
1 pound spaghetti or other long pasta
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
Black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

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.

OLIVE SAUCE - SALSA DI OLIVA



Olive Sauce - Salsa Di Oliva image

It is written that the olive is a gift from the gods. Certainly no food is more revered than the oil extracted from this ancient fruit that is known today for its health benefits as well as its culinary fame. In this no-cook olive sauce two types of olives, Kalamata and Cerignola, are blended together to make a piquant sauce that is sensational not only on pasta like Pici but on fish, bruschetta, and pizza and mixed into bread dough. The intensity of the flavors allows one to use the sauce sparingly (1/2 cup will sauce about 1/2 pound of pasta) and it will keep for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator if the top is covered with a thin layer of olive oil. If you do not have an olive pitter to remove the pits, use a wide-bottomed jar to smash each olive; this easily removes the pit. Note: If you prefer a hot-tasting olive sauce, add 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes to the sauce. This recipe is from Mangia Pasta by Mary Ann Esposito. ---------- For those of you that don't know Maryanne Esposito, let me introduce you to a marvelous cook, who cooks only "Authentic" Italian food, and it is incredible! I had the priviledge of meeting Maryanne at a woman's luncheon many years ago, and she has her own cooking show on Channel 11 in NH. She and her husband, who is a local doctor, live in the next town from where I used to live and work.

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb kalamata olive, pitted
1/2 lb cerignola olive, pitted
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/3 cup fresh Italian parsley, stems removed
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (Colavita)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the olives and garlic in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse for 10 seconds.
  • Add the parsley and thyme, and pulse again for 10 seconds.
  • With the motor running, add the olive oil through the feed tube in a slow stream. The sauce should look finely minced and have some texture to it.
  • Transfer the sauce to a bowl, and stir in the salt and black pepper.
  • Store the sauce in a jar in the refrigerator. Bring the jar to room temperature when ready to use.
  • After removing some of the sauce, pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top to prevent air from getting in and allowing bacteria to grow.
  • Variation:
  • Add julienned roasted sweet red and yellow peppers after mixing the pasta with the sauce and a few coarsely chopped black oil-cured olives for color and contrast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right olives: Use ripe, firm olives that are not too salty. Kalamata, Niçoise, and Castelvetrano olives are all good choices.
  • Roast the chili peppers: Roasting the chili peppers will give the sauce a smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until the olives and chili peppers are soft, but not mushy. Overcooking the sauce will make it bitter.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic you add to the sauce will depend on your personal taste. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Olive and chili sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding a spicy kick to grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread, crackers, and pita chips. No matter how you use it, olive and chili sauce is sure to add flavor and excitement to your meals.
