Bluecorn Fettuccine With Cilantro Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY CILANTRO PESTO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
• While the water is heating and pasta is cooking, make the cilantro pesto. Place all the ingredients, except olive oil, in a food processor and pulse until combined and it looks like a rough paste, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. While the food processor is running, pour olive oil in a steady stream and process until smooth.
• When pasta is ready, save about 1/2 cup of pasta water (don't forget, it's important for the sauce!) and drain the pasta in a colander.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and cook garlic for 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Pour cream and mix. Turn off the heat and stir in cilantro pesto. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat with the sauce. Add a little bit of pasta cooking water, a little bit at a time, until you reach a perfectly smooth texture. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve immediately.

ANCHO CHILE FETTUCCINI WITH CILANTRO-TOMATILLO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 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.

BLUECORN FETTUCCINE WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the fettuccine: mix the all purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons), blue cornmeal, semolina, salt , cumin and cayenne in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the ingredients and add eggs, and blend together with a fork, until all the flour is incorporated. Knead douh on a lightly floured board until smooth (4-6 minutes), kneading in additional flour if sticky. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
• Cut dough into six pieces. Working with one piece at a time (keeping the rest covered), fold piece into thirds. Using a pasta machine at it's widest setting, run dough through several times until dough is smooth and velvety, flolding dough before each run and dusting with flour if sticky. Repeat narrowing rollers after each run until pasta is 1/16th inch thich, dusting with flour if necesary. Hang dough sheet on drying rack or place on kitchen rack to dry. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough until all is completed. Set aside until dough sheets look leathery and edges begin to curl (10-30 minutes). ***Pasta must be cut at this point or it will be too brittle to work with.***.
• Run dough sheets through the fettuccine blades of pasta machine (or cut by hand into 1/4-inch wide strips). Arrange pasta on towel.
• To make sauce: boil cream in a large saucepan until reduced to 1 1/3 cups. Cook chorizo and jalapeno in a large skillet over medium heat until brown, crumbling the chroizo with a fork (10 minutes). Stir in cream, cilantro and cayenne and season with salt.
• In a large pot, add pasta to a large amount of rapidly boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until tender (4-5 minutes). Drain. Add pasta to cream sauce and toss to heat through.
