How To Make Bucatini Al Pomodoro: http://r29.co/2kn9qrI
Ingredients
1 can crushed tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 handful basil
Olive oil
Salt
Parmigiano Reggiano
Basil leaves
*Instructions
1. Smash, chop, and sauté the garlic in a little olive oil for about a minute over medium-high heat.
Add a few basil leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and sauté for another 30 seconds.
2. Add the tomatoes and allow to simmer for up to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil, adding about a teaspoon of salt once it’s boiling.
3. Drop the bucatini into the water vertically (not horizontally!), and cook until just underdone. Use tongs to transfer the pasta to the sauce, and mix it all together while you cook it a little bit longer. Add a few tablespoons of pasta water if the sauce needs liquid.
4. Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and some torn-up basil leaves.
How To Make Tortellini In Broth: http://r29.co/2kLZSDU
Ingredients
*Pasta
1 egg
About 1 cup soft wheat flour
2-3 quarts chicken broth
*Filling
1/4 pound ground pork loin
1/4 pound ground Parma ham
1/4 pound ground mortadella
Butter
About 1 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
*Instructions
1. Make the filling: Over medium heat, melt the butter and add the pork loin. Fry it until it’s cooked through, without over-browning. Thoroughly mix in the ham and mortadella, then remove from heat. Mix in the Parmigiano.
2. Make the pasta: Make a well with the flour on a large cutting board or other surface. Crack the egg inside the well and begin to mix the egg with a fork, bringing in more and more four as you do.
