Answer 9

Angel Hair Pasta with Scallops

1/2 lb sea scallops, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium or 2 small fresh tomatoes, minced into 1/4" pieces
4 slices bacon or pancetta, diced fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh thyme, salt and pepper to taste
1 pound angel-hair pasta (also cappelini or vermicelli)

Boil water for pasta. When it begins to boil, add salt and oil, then turn down and start the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or pancetta to render out some of the drippings. Add garlic and stir to brown. Add scallops, cooking quickly to avoid browning but to cook thoroughly (this is why they're cut into thin slices). When the scallops look nearly done, turn the water back up to a boil, then put the tomatoes into the skillet at the same time you put the pasta into the water. Cook for the requisite amount of time (2-3 minutes fresh, 6-7 minutes dried), then drain and *lightly* oil the pasta with a good extra-virgin olive oil (this will help keep the pasta from clumping while you eat it). Toss the fresh thyme into the skillet and stir through before removing it from the heat. Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Vodka Sauce

4 ounces lobster or shrimp, cleaned and cooked
1 package wonton wrappers
4 large button mushrooms, sliced
3 ounces yellow onion, diced
2 ounces olive oil
2 ounces butter
2 ounces water
1 ounce flour
1 medium tomato, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
3 ounces vodka
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of dried tarragon
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chives or green onions
Hard grating cheese, like Parmesan

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté onions and mushrooms using 1 ounce olive oil and 2 ounces butter. Sauté until mushrooms turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop fine. Chop lobster or shrimp into a small dice and reserve some nice pieces for garnish. Thoroughly combine flour and 1 ounce water. Lay out one wonton sheet and lightly brush all edges with flour and water mixture. Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture just off center of the wonton sheet. Top with a small amount of chopped meat. Gently fold the edges together, forming a diamond shape, making sure the entire length of edge is closed. Repeat process. You should yield about 10 wontons.

Sauce:
In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add just under 1 ounce of olive oil and sauté diced tomato until liquid starts to release. Add the garlic and sauté for another two minutes. Add the vodka, cook another minute. Add heavy cream and tarragon. Reduce until sauce thickens and season with salt and pepper. Place wontons in slowly boiling, salted water for one minute. Place in serving bowls and top with about 2 ounces sauce. Garnish with meat and chopped chives. Grate cheese over top and serve.
