Ingredients
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 servings half alarge onion
- 6 garlic cloves
- 4 servings kosher salt
- 1.5 pounds zucchini
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1.25 cups red wine
- 1.25 cups water
- 1 leaf flat parsley leaves
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375F. Break the capellini into approximately 3-inch lengths.
- 2
Spread the pasta on a baking sheet, slide it into the oven, and toast, tossing occasionally with tongs, until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- 3
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot (at least 5 1/2 quarts) with a lid over medium heat.
- 4
Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook, allowing them only to soften and grow aromatic but not brown, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the zucchini and another pinch of salt. Saut until the zucchini is well browned, about 5 more minutes.
- 5
Place the noodles on top of the zucchini mixture.
- 6
Layer the asparagus and 1 cup of the cherry tomatoes on top of that and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and rosemary.
- 7
Pour the red wine and cup of water over the top. Toss as best you can with tongs; it will be hard at first because the noodles are stiff. Return the heat to medium and cover the pot.
- 8
Every 3 minutes, remove the lid and toss the pasta. The total cooking time will be 8 to 12 minutes. Toward the end, taste a noodle each time you remove the lid to see if it is done. If not, and there isnt any moisture left on the bottom of the pot, add a bit more wine or water, about 1/3 cup.
- 9
When the noodles are done to your liking, taste and make any final adjustments to the seasoning.
