Curry House Japanese Curry and Spaghetti has shuttered, closing all 9 units in Southern California
Employees learned of closure when arriving for work Monday
October 1, 2010
From: Chef/owner Tony Vallone, Tony's, Houston. Yield: 4-6 servings.
1 lb. spaghetti, fedelini or linguine
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
12 anchovy fillets
½ cup walnuts, chopped into large pieces
½ cup pignoli (pine nuts), lightly toasted
½ cup dark raisins, soaked in 2 Tbsp. dry Marsala or red wine and allowed to marinate 30 minutes (toss occasionally)
1 Tbsp. dried oregano, crushed
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
pinch of coarsley ground black pepper
4 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
10 large leaves fresh basil, torn
While pasta is cooking al dente, heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic and anchovies and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes. Mash the anchovies as you stir so that they dissolve into a paste.
Add nuts, raisins, wine marinade, oregano, pepper flakes and black pepper and allow to simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring all the while.
Drain pasta, but not too well. Put wet pasta back into cooking pot and toss well with sauce. Add parsley and basil and toss again. Serve at once.
Note: Pasta must contain a little water when put back into the pot. Sauce is enhanced when pasta is not totally dry.
