From FAKelco@aol.com Fri Mar 10 12:56:30 2006 Date: 09 Mar 2006 18:22:44 GMT From: FAKelco@aol.com Newsgroups: rec.food.recipes Subject: Spaghetti with Peppery No Cook Tomato Sauce Followup-To: rec.food.cooking, rec.food.recipes Spaghetti with Peppery No Cook Tomato Sauce Strong ingredients--like pungent cheese, sharp olives, fruity olive oil, and briny capers--give this pasta sauce plenty of flavor so there's no cooking necessary. Quickly peel tomatoes by plunging them into the boiling pasta water (before adding the pasta) for 20 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon, and quickly rinse under cold water. The skins will slip right off. 1 pound uncooked spaghetti 2 cups chopped seeded peeled tomato (about 5 medium tomatoes) 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled ricotta salata or feta cheese 1/3 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives 1/4 cup capers 1 1/2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground 4 garlic cloves, minced Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain. Combine tomato and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add pasta, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
