FRESH TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
• Coarsely chop the tomato and transfer to a small bowl. Sprinkle the tomato chunks with basil, olive oil, and salt. Set aside.
• Once the water is boiling, stir in the rigatoni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander, and then return the pasta to the pot.
• Pour the tomato mixture over the pasta and toss to mix.

TOMATO BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• Stir tomatoes, onion, olive oil, garlic, and basil together in a bowl.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 minutes. Drain.

TOMATO-BLUEFISH PASTA

Steps:

• On the stove, bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Trim fennel by removing the feathery tops. Chop tops finely and reserve. Cut fennel bulb in half through the core. Slice each half through the core into 4 wedges.
• In a glass or ceramic oval dish (11 by 9 by 2 inches), stir fennel, olive oil, onion and garlic until vegetables are coated with oil. Push vegetables to the sides of the dish, leaving the center empty. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent for 4 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water.
• Pour tomatoes into the center of the dish of vegetables. Sprinkle reserved fennel tops and capers over tomatoes. Sprinkle a small amount of black pepper on top. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent for 5 minutes.
• Carefully uncover the dish. Arrange fish fillets spoke-fashion over tomatoes and vegetables. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent for 5 minutes.
• When pasta is cooked, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and pour it into a large bowl. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl. Gently set the fish fillets on top of the pasta, arranging them around the sides of the bowl. Place vegetables in the center.
• Taste the tomato sauce and season with lemon juice and salt, if desired. Pour sauce over all. Work a small wooden spoon down into the spaghetti in several places so some of the tomato sauce trickles down. Serve immediately.

TOMATO-BUTTER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cut ends of the tomato into a large bowl. Discard or compost skins. Grate the butter into the bowl as well. Using the small holes of the box grater, grate the garlic into the bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, and season generously with salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Return the drained pasta to the pot, along with the bowl of grated tomato and butter. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and glosses the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Add pasta water as needed to emulsify the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper, basil and Parmesan as desired.
