16 ounces fresh pasta (linguini, tortellini or ravioli ) |
4 ounces unsalted butter |
8 ounces heavy whipping cream |
3 -4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and minced |
1 -2 fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) |
salt and black pepper, to taste |
3 -4 tablespoons pico de gallo (for garnish) (optional) or 3 -4 tablespoons salsa (for garnish) (optional) |
3 -4 sprigs fresh cilantro (for garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a saute pan over low heat. Add fresh, minced garlic and lightly brown. Careful not to burn the butter! Add heavy cream and cook approximately 4-6 minutes over medium heat, letting sauce reduce until it coats the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste, then add fresh, minced jalapeno and remove from heat.
2. As you are making the sauce, boil 4 quarts of water. Add fresh pasta to boiling water and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Drain water, add pasta to saute pan with jalapeno cream sauce and mix together. Plate pasta and sauce in pasta bowls and garnish with fresh pico de gallo and/or a sprig of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately. Makes about 3-4 servings.
