Authentic Chilled Pasta with an Oil Based Sauce
- 180 to 200 grams Capellini (thin long pasta)
- 6 tbsp Garlic oil or extra virgin olive oil (https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/154290-garlic-chips-and-garlic-oil)
- 1 tbsp Grated garlic (If using extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons A. Lemon juice (bottled)
- 1 tbsp plus to 1 1/2 tablespoons, (to taste) A. Honey
- 1 tsp A. Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp A. White wine
- 1 tsp A. Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp A. Water
- 1 A. Salt and pepper
- 1 B. Fresh or dried basil (if you have some)
- 1 B. Capers (if you have some)
- 3 cm worth B. Finely chopped celery (if you have some)
- 1 B. Sliced red chili pepper
- 1 cup Additions of your choice (tomatoes, seafoods, canned ingredients, etc.)
- Put all the A ingredients in a bowl, and mix well with a whisk.
- Taste, and season it very well with salt and pepper.
- Put the C (additional) ingredients in another bowl, season with salt and pepper and leave for 15 minutes.
- Put it in the first bowl with the B ingredients, mix well and chill in the refrigerator.
- I used tomatoes, sashimi grade boiled octopus, and additional new harvest spring onion.
- Just use whatever you have in your refrigerator.
- Put 1 liter of cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt in a bowl.
- Mix well to make chilled salted water.
- Put in some ice cubes to make it even colder.
- Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water.
- Cook pasta for cold dishes 30 seconds to a minute longer than indicated on the package.
- Drain the cooked pasta into a colander, and then cool it down under cold running water.
- Drain well again, and put it into the Step 5 chilled salted water for 1-2 minutes, to firm up the pasta.
- The reason for putting the pasta in the chilled salted water is to add a little saltiness to the pasta, since chilled pasta dishes tend to taste bland.
- Please be sure to do this.
- Drain the chilled and salt-water soaked pasta well.
- Wrap it in paper towels in serving-sized portions, and soak up more moisture.
- Put the well drained pasta into the chilled bowl of ingredients from Step 2, and mix well.
- Taste, and do the final flavor adjusting by adding salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer to serving plates, grind on some black pepper, and enjoy.
- This is not oily, not too sour, and you can add all kinds of ingredients.
- Please serve them with all the sauce so that the pasta is immersed in it.
- I love this dish.
- Here I served a small amount as an appetizer.
- You can enjoy it even in wintertime this way.
- Capers keep for quite a long time, so they are handy to have stocked in the refrigerator for making carpaccio or marinades.
- The garlic oil I used in this recipe (https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/154290-garlic-chips-and-garlic-oil) can be kept for a while and is really useful.
- I recommend making a big batch.
