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.

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.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH ANCHO CHILE CREAM SAUCE
This is my "signature" dish. Always get raves on them. They are a bit time consuming, especially if you decide to make your own Pico de Gallo and Guacamole, but well worth it. I sip on a margarita to make the experience most authentic! * I find that I barely have enough cream sauce, you might consider doubling it for ease. * Here is a recommendation for the order of prepping things... *Start chiles soaking (30 minutes) *Cook chicken (I just boil chicken thighs in chicken stock...they need to cool before you can shred the meat) *Drink Margarita *Butter 13x9x2 baking dish *Preheat oven to 350°F *Slice and sauté mushrooms *Drink Margarita *Make sauce *Make filling *Assemble *Cook and eat (and drink Margarita)!

Steps:
- Core tomatoes and cut in half - squeeze out and discard seeds. Cut tomatoes in chunks. One-third at a time, place tomato chunks in food processor bowl or blender container. Process with several on/off turns; tomatoes should remain chunky. Transfer to medium bowl. You should have about 3 1/4 cups tomatoes. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender but not brown (3 minutes). Stir in garlic and chile powder; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer gently; uncovered, about 15 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Stir in basil and salt; heat through. Makes 3 cups.
- Hint: You can double the recipe and make several batches of sauce to store. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months. You can put the sauce in a jelly jar, add a label with storage directions and give as a gift from your kitchen. Your friends will thank you.
Tips:
- Soak ancho chiles properly: To rehydrate ancho chiles, remove stems and seeds, then soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes or until softened. This process enhances their flavor and makes them easier to blend.
- Use ripe tomatoes: For the tomatillo-cilantro cream sauce, choose ripe tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color. Ripe tomatoes add a naturally sweet and tangy flavor to the sauce.
- Roast tomatillos: Roasting tomatillos intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. Roast them at a high temperature until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Balance flavors: The ancho-chile fettuccine and tomatillo-cilantro cream sauce have bold flavors, so it's important to balance them carefully. Adjust the amount of ancho chiles and cream to your personal preference.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh cilantro and parsley. This adds a pop of color and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Conclusion:
Ancho chile fettuccine with cilantro-tomatillo cream sauce is a flavorful and visually appealing dish that combines the richness of ancho chiles with the freshness of tomatillos and cilantro.
