Fettuccine With Mexican Herbs Recipes

FETTUCCINE WITH SUNCHOKES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet. Add shallots and garlic and sauté on medium until they are soft but not brown. Add remaining oil, olives and sunchokes and sauté, stirring, 5 minutes. Season with salt. Cover pan and cook about 15 minutes more, stirring once or twice, until sunchokes are tender.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook pasta until al dente, about 4 minutes. Remove 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta.

FETTUCCINE WITH HERBS, BUTTER AND CREAM

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Meanwhile, in a saucepan place the heavy cream and butter. Simmer over low heat for a minute or until slightly reduced and then season with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat. To the pot of boiling water, add the fettuccine, and bring water back to a boil. If pasta has just been made, cook for a few seconds after water returns to a boil, other wise cook until just slightly firmer than al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain fettuccine and add it to the cream sauce. Toss fettucine coating them with cream sauce. Add fresh herbs, salt, pepper and toss again, still over low heat, until sauce has thickened and fettuccine is well coated. Serve immediately.

EASY CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan or a skillet, melt butter at low heat.
• Add garlic, simmer until brown.
• Add cream, stir until butter and cream no longer separate.
• Stir in cheese with a whisk until melted.
• Add in the spices.
• Continue to cook at low to medium heat for about 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not allow mixture to boil.
• Combine with chicken and pasta and serve.
• Can garnish with some chopped parsley, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
• For cooking the chicken you might want to marinate it a little before cooking it to give it some more flavor. I usually do mine in a little lemon juice, with salt and pepper, maybe a little garlic... depends on my mood! Stick it all in a gallon sized Ziploc bag, and make sure to coat the chicken well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes Can grill, broil, or even pan fry if you want.
