Racheal Rays Pasta Dish

17 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I will post on the recipe board as well.

Rachael Ray recently did a dish that had shrimp and pasta. The pasta was put in the pot with the shrimp and other things and the sauce was in the same pot. Not a red sauce. For the life of me I don't know what it was called and can't seem to find it. Anyone see this or know what I'm talking about with such little clues? Thanks.

I think this may be what you're looking for...I posted it on the 2008 Review thread. It's very good. I just jotted it down but I'm sure you can find RR's exact instructions on the website.

From the 2008 Review thread:

Another very good, easy, & FAST pasta/shrimp meal I've made this year. I think it's from RR.

LINGUINI & SHRIMP

Olive Oil, about 4 tablespoons
Onion, chopped finely
Garlic, 2 minced cloves
Anchovy, 1 tablespoon paste or 2 fillets
1 Cup White Wine
4 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Cups Water
Pasta, 1 pound (I used linguini)
Shrimp, 1 pound (tails on & deveined)
Parma Cheese - 1/2 Cup grated

Sweat onion in EVOO. Add the anchovy & cook until softened. Add minced garlic & saute for another couple minutes.

Add the wine, broth, & water. Bring to a boil. Add pasta & shrimp. Cook until shrimp & pasta are done. Stir in parma cheese. Serve. Do not drain.

I wasn't sure this would 1.) work and/or 2.) the pasta wouldn't be good. But, it's excellent. DH loved it & has requested it again for this Friday night. The pasta wasn't overcooked & the liquid was the perfect amount for the one pound pasta. One pot, less than 30 minutes, few ingredients, what could be easier? Nice that it's also so good.

Roasted Vegetable Torte Â Ina Garten Serves 6 "Paula Hodges invented this recipe at Barefoot Contessa, and it was an immediate hit. Make it ahead of time and then cut it into wedges, like a cake. The layers of roasted vegetables look so beautiful." Â 2 zucchini, cut into Â¼ inch slices Â 1 red onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced Â 1 teaspoon minced garlic Â Good olive oil Â Kosher salt Â Freshly ground pepper Â 2 red bell peppers, halved, cored, and seeded Â 2 yellow bell peppers, halved, cored, and seeded Â 1 eggplant, unpeeled, cut into 1/4 -inch slices (1 Â½ pounds) Â Â½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the zucchini, onions, garlic, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sautÃ© pan over medium heat for 10 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the red and yellow peppers and eggplant with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for 30 to 40 minutes, until soft but not browned. In a 6-inch round cake pan, place each vegetable in a single, overlapping layer, sprinkling Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste between each of the layers of vegetables. Begin with half of the eggplant, then layer half of the zucchini and onions, then all of the red peppers, then all of the yellow peppers, then the rest of the zucchini and onions, and finally the rest of the eggplant. Cover the top of the vegetables with a 6-inch round of parchment paper or waxed paper. Place a 6-inch flat disk (another cake pan or the bottom of a false-bottom tart pan) on top and weight it with a heavy jar. Place on a plate or baking sheet (it will leak) and chill completely. Drain the liquids, place on a platter, and serve at room temperature. **Notes that I took from Chowhound: "Note that the recipe is for a 6" cake pan. I make it in either an 8" or 9" cake pan. Unfortunately, my Barefoot Contessa cookbook, with my notes for increasing amounts, is about 80 miles away right now. But, if memory serves, I use 2 eggplants, instead of the 1 specified. 3 zucchinis instead of 2. I honestly don't remember if I roast another pepper or two or not. It wouldn't hurt to have an extra on hand. It's important to use both yellow and red, because that's a big part of the presentation. As you can tell, it's just basic roasted vegetables (and sauteed, in the case of the zucchini and red onion). But beautifully presented. Also, I've never had enough fridge room to weight these with a jar when I've made them. I just throw on a couple of wrenches. this looks great! can i make it a day in advance? Absolutely. In fact, you have to. I make it the afternoon or evening before so it gets a good, long, overnight weighting. That's what lets all the veggies glom together (there's a good chef's term for you : ) ) so you have this nice torte that you can slice."

Pasta ? please

Steve Allen was truly an undercredited talent. Hilarious. The stuff he did was great. He made the Tonight Show a classic and others get credit for it. I was a bit young in those days... ahem... but I sure remember another show he did later on, maybe in the 70s? He had a talk show that was great. Back on topic, although yes you can easily substitute pastas, I don't think they're identical. But sure close enough. Different sizes and different thicknesses give a little different texture. But for pasta, meat and tomato sauce, baked, hey, it'll work fine. I enjoy pasta.

What can you do with Italian Sausage besides pasta?
Q
Comments (56)
I cook the sausage in a very old, very seasoned cast iron skillet, using a slotted potato masher to squish it down, then scrape it with a wooden flat beveled spoon - spatula. I continue doing this while it cooks over med high heat. It breaks up nicely and you can easily get it to the size crumbles you want quickly with very little clean up. This is a recipe I have cooked for years and adapted it to our ever changing tastes. It came from a magazine that adapted it from "The New Chili Cuisine" by Nancy S. Hughes. I am cooking this for dinner tonite as the rain, chill and gloom just won't seem to leave. ~* My changes (almost the entire recipe, but I do not want to take credit for the original ~ which I have included) SAUSAGE, WHITE BEAN AND PASTA CHILI 1 lb mild Italian sausages, casings removed ~* Hot Italian 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained ~* Del Monte Petite diced tomatoes w/ jalapenos ~* Onion - coarsely chopped 14 oz chicken broth ~*32 oz homemade chicken or turkey broth 4 oz chopped green chilis, rinsed & grained ~* 1/2 c(?) chopped sliced jalenpoes from jar I always have - amt - to taste so not to spicy 2 tsp paprika ~*omit 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper ~* Chipotle red pepper (McCormicks) 2 T ground cumin ~* Chipotle Tabasco sauce to taste 15 oz can Cannellie beans, rinsed & drained 2/3 cup tiny pasta, cooked - makes 1 1/3 cups ~* omit often Cook sausage breaking it into small chunks until lightly brown. * Remove sausage and blot excess grease Saute the chopped onion and chopped jalapenos in the same skillet until tender. In a small dutch oven or heavy saucepan, add the tomatoes and their liquid, chicken broth, green chilis, and spices. Add the sausage & onion. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer, uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in beans & pasta ~ * I add the pasta to the individual bowls. Reheat & serve. ~ Top with fresh Parmesan. Serve with cornbread and or tortilla chips. This is very quick and easy. I hope all my changes don't intimate you. You can make this as spicy as you want - or not! It also freezes very well!

Meal in a dish or 'hot dish'

There's always TTHD. TATER TOT HOTDISH -Ground meat (I like to mix Jimmy Dean hot pork sausage with hamburger) -Onion & celery (optional) -Vegetables (Whatever you like. Green beans are sort of "traditional" but I like corn or mixed veg) -Cream soup mixed with milk (Cream of mushroom is "traditional" but I like cream of chicken, broccoli or potato.) -Tater Tots -Cheese (optional) This is so flexible. Use amounts to make the size of dish you want. Use any kind of meat. Roast beef, turkey, chicken... I like to mix them occasionally. It's best to brown the meat and I usually cook the onion and sometimes the celery with it. Depends if I want the onion and celery with a bit of a crunch. Season as you like. I use Louisiana Hot Sauce, garlic, lemon pepper and Italian seasoning usually. Put the meat, onion & celery in the bottom of a baking dish, either in layers or mixed up, top with the veggies, top that with the cream soup and on top go the tater tots. Some like to bake the tots first for extra crunch or they'll be crunchy on top and soft on the bottom. Whatever you prefer. Cheese is optional in it or on it in the last 15 min or so. Bake it until the tots are as brown as you like. The good part is everything is cooked so you don't have that as a problem. Substitute mashed potatoes for tots and you'll have a Shepherd's Pie. You can even use fresh potatoes if you like. Like I said, it's so flexible you really don't need a recipe. Hot rolls, biscuits, toast, etc., all go well with this. Even garlic bread. Another easy option is Scalloped potatoes & ham (or other meat, or go meatless). When I make a macaroni hotdish I don't use a real recipe either. Again, you can add any kind(s) of meat or go without. Similar to baked ziti. Macaroni Hotdish -Meat of your choice -Macaroni or other pasta of your choice. I like the jumbo elbows -Sauce. Can be spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, with or without some diced or stewed tomatoes, or you can use cream soup(s) or you can use a can of gravy, again, it's flexible. -I like to add some kidney beans and sometimes mixed veg or corn Amounts depend on servings desired and the ratio of meat to pasta you like. A starting point would be 1#-2# of meat, 1-2 cups of macaroni, small to large jar/can of sauce and add the amount of other things you like. I also like to add some pepperoni for a bit of spice. Again, season as you like. Garlic bread goes great with it. Veggies can be served on the side or mixed into these. A crisp green salad is a good accompaniment to thse too.

Weren't the shrimp overcooked? I don't think I'd boil shrimp for 12 minutes.

Angelaid,
I couldn't find it at that link as I don't know what it is called.

triciae,
This sounds like it, thank you. I will just copy and paste the one you show as I don't know what hers is called and couldn't find it.

colleenoz,

No, they weren't overcooked. The shrimp were buried in the one pound of pasta so took a bit longer to cook. Actually, I was more worried about the pasta than the shrimp. As it turned was...everything was done at the same time. Quick, easy, & good.

Saphires - Use the search function on the link; it works pretty well. I put in "shrimp pasta" and came up with a recipe that looks a lot like Tricia's. Could this be this one you are looking for?
