Tonnarelli W/caper Pesto Preparation
Fill a stockpot with 6 quarts of water, cover and bring to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and garlic; bring to a boil, cooking briskly until the garlic is golden. Remove from heat and let cool; swirl the pan to hasten the cooling. Transfer the garlic and oil to a blender or mini-processor. Add the tomato, capers and pulse until chopped. Add the parsley and oregano and pulse until chunky, then add the vinegar. Add 3 1/2 tablespoons of salt to the boiling water and add the tonnarelli. Cover partially until water just returns to a boil, then uncover, stir the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the tonnarelli, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the caper paste. If the tonnarelli is dry, add some of the pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Garnish with cheese and serve immediately. Note: If you can”t find capers in salt, you can use brine packed capers, with these modifications; double the amount called for in the recipe and add 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt to give them a boost. So as not to overwhelm their delicate taste, reduce the oregano to 2 tablespoons. Posted to FOODWINE Digest 4 October 96 Date: Sat, 5 Oct 1996 08:21:19 -0400 From: Laura Hunter <LHunter722@AOL.COM>
