New Mexican Fire Roasted Tomato And Pepperoncini Pasta Sauce Recipes

AUTHENTIC FIRE-ROASTED TEX-MEX SALSA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray. Arrange tomatoes in the prepared dish with cut sides down. Add onion and jalapeno.
• Broil until tomato skins are blackened and blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove onion and jalapeno halfway through cooking time, once skins are slightly softened.
• Combine broiled vegetables in a blender; add cilantro, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Pulse until smooth. Taste and season with remaining garlic salt as desired.

FIRE ROASTED TOMATO AND FETA PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, and cook until opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and heat through. Season with basil, salt and pepper.
• Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce, and sprinkle with crumbled feta to serve.

SLOW-ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Drain the tomatoes, then transfer them to a baking sheet. Gently break the tomatoes up with your hands or kitchen scissors into a mix of big and little chunks. Stir in the garlic, olive oil, hot sauce, if using, and salt.
• Roast, stirring occasionally (and more frequently after the first hour of cooking), until the tomatoes turn dark red and the edges begin to caramelize, about 2 hours. Mash with a fork to break up the garlic and any remaining chunks of tomato.
• Bring a large pot or Dutch oven of heavily salted water to the boil. Cook your pasta al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta. Return the pot to the stove, turn the heat to medium-high, then add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Let simmer until combined, glossy and saucy, about a minute or 2, adding more pasta water as needed. Add the pasta and toss to coat.

NEW MEXICAN FIRE ROASTED TOMATO AND PEPPERONCINI PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the coconut oil in a large non stick saute pan.

• Add in the garlic and saute for a couple of minutes being careful not to burn.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 15-20 minutes to reduce the liquid.
• Serve over your favourite rice or pasta with some grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
• Bon Appetit!

FETTUCCINE WITH SMOKED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack over indirect heat. Place a heavy-bottomed saucepot over direct heat.
• Slice the tomatoes in half. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes on the cooling rack on the grill, cut-side down, to soften and take on some smoke while you make the sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add a drizzle of olive oil to the saucepot along with the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, onions and crushed red pepper flakes if using and cook until the onions soften, an additional few minutes. Add the wine. Tie the fresh herbs together with a piece of butcher's twine and add to the saucepot.
• When your tomatoes have begun to soften, remove them from the grill. Remove the skins (they will come off really easy), add the tomatoes to the saucepot and season with salt and pepper. Close the grill and continue to cook the sauce until the tomatoes fully break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions. Using tongs, pull the pasta out and add it directly to the tomato sauce, along with 1/3 cup of the starchy pasta water. Mix to combine. The sauce will stick to the pasta. Remove the saucepot from the heat.
• Add the butter and a drizzle of olive oil to the pasta and stir to combine. Add the basil and and stir again. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan over top.
• (Alternatively, you can cook the sauce and pasta over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

PEPPERONCINI PASTA

Steps:

• cook pasta according to directions on box.
• in a separate saute pan; heat all other ingredients until very warm; not wilted.
• drain pasta and toss with sauteed mixture.
• if pressed for time/space you can just toss pasta with other ingredients without warming the pepper mixture; the heat from the noodles will warm them up.
• serve with good bread.

• Cook and drain pasta as directed on box. Return to saucepan; cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Place tomatoes, whipping cream, pesto and salt in skillet; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring frequently, 8 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat; stir in shrimp.
• Add shrimp mixture to pasta; toss gently to coat. Place on individual plates. Sprinkle each with cheese. Garnish with basil.
