House Special Angel Hair

House special angel hair is a type of pasta dish that is commonly found in Italian-American restaurants in the USA. Here's what you need to know about it:

Ingredients:

Angel hair pasta
Also known as capellini, this is a very thin type of pasta that resembles fine hair.

Seafood or meat
The "house special" part of the dish can vary, but it often includes a combination of seafood (such as shrimp, scallops, calamari, or mussels) or meat (such as chicken or veal).

Tomato sauce
A tangy and slightly sweet red sauce made from canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs like basil and oregano.

Olive oil
Used to sauté the garlic and onions and to toss the pasta.

White wine
Adds depth of flavor to the sauce.

Salt and pepper
To taste.

Grated Parmesan cheese
Optional, for serving.

Preparation:

1. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions and cook until they are soft and fragrant.

3. Add the seafood or meat (if using) and cook until it is cooked through.

4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until it reduces slightly.

5. Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for a few more minutes until the flavors meld together.

6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it well with the sauce to coat.

7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips:

If you want to make the dish vegetarian, you can omit the seafood or meat and add more vegetables instead, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or eggplant.

You can add some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

If you like a creamier sauce, you can stir in some heavy cream or cream cheese at the end of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
