This recipe is from a Food Network episode dedicated to the food that Rock Stars eat on the road. It was titled Roadie Chefs 2. Speaking of dance, the following is a pasta recipe that Tina Turner indulges in on the road.
Tina's Show Pasta Recipe by Kate Paul
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus a bit extra
2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed, plus 1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced paper thin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 Roma tomatoes, squeezed and roughly diced
12 ounces dry penne
1/2 pound arugula, washed and dried*
1 lemon, quartered
Shaved Parmesan
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
*Substitutions: If arugula is not available, baby spinach or Asian greens would work as well.
In a deep saute pan or wok, place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the smashed garlic cloves and heat on medium until the garlic turns a golden brown and emits a deep odor. Discard the garlic and keep the pan warm on low.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions (al dente), salting the water well. When cooked, drain the pasta, and keep warm in the saucepan, tossing the remaining tablespoon of oil through to prevent sticking.
Bring the heat on the saute pan up to medium, and when oil starts to sizzle, add sliced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and then the diced tomato. About a minute later add the cooked penne and start tossing or stirring to combine. Turn off the heat, add the arugula, and continue stirring, until it has started to wilt. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Add more olive oil, if desired.
Divide the pasta among 4 large bowls and garnish with a quarter of lemon, for squeezing lightly over the top. Sprinkle on shaved Parmesan and enjoy! Enough to keep you dancing for hours...
