Recipe Summary Ancho Chile Fettuccini With Cilantro-Tomatillo Cream Sauce
Rather than make fettuccine colored with spinach or tomatoes, I wanted to create something with color AND flare. Here is my idea. Try serving with grilled skewered chicken and mushrooms, marinated with lime, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper.Ingredients | Ancho Chillies Australia1 tablespoon olive oil3 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded4 cloves unpeeled garlic2 eggs2 cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon salt1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro3 tomatillos, husked and chopped½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped½ cup cream cheese, softened½ cup sour cream¼ cup chicken stock1 tablespoon olive oil½ teaspoon ground cuminsalt and pepper to tasteDirectionsHeat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Roast ancho chiles and 4 cloves unpeeled garlic. Press the chiles flat against the pan with a spatula until they begin to pop and smoke, then flip. When done, rehydrate chiles in a bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Turn garlic until all sides are browned, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel.In a blender or food processor, combine chiles, 2 cloves roasted garlic, and eggs. Blend until smooth. Place the flour in a mound on a clean surface. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt with a fork, then make a well in the center. Pour in egg mixture. Working from the center outward, gradually incorporate the flour with a fork until dough is formed. Knead dough for 5 minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Prepare fettuccini according to your pasta machine's instructions. Lay the fettuccine flat on lightly floured surface for 15 minutes.In a blender or food processor, combine 2 remaining cloves roasted garlic, cilantro, tomatillos, jalapeno, cream cheese, sour cream, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan over low heat, and cook until heated through.Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until pasta rises to the surface. Drain, and divide into serving portions; pour sauce over top.Info | Ancho Chillies Australiaprep: 45 mins cook: 15 mins total: 1 hr Servings: 4 Yield: 4 servings
