ITALIAN "DRUNKEN" NOODLES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Italian

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 15

Olive oil
4 spicy Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 large onion, quartered and sliced thinly
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
1/2 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, julienned, divided use
8 ounces Pappardelle noodles, uncooked

Steps:

  • -Place a large, heavy-bottom pan or braising pot over medium-high heat; add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and once the oil is hot, crumble the spicy Italian sausage into the pan in small chunks (you want to keep the sausage fairly chunky), allowing it to brown in the oil for a few moments on each side; once the crumbled sausage is browned, remove it from the pan/pot with a slotted spoon and place into a small bowl to hold for a moment; next, add the sliced onion into the pan with the sausage drippings, and allow it to caramelize and become golden for roughly 5 minutes or so, stirring to keep it from burning (add a touch more olive oil, if necessary); once the onion starts to become golden, add the salt, Italian seasoning and cracked black pepper, and stir to combine, then add in the sliced bell peppers, and allow those to saute with the onion for about 2 minutes until slightly tender and golden; next, add in the garlic, and once it becomes aromatic, add in the white wine and allow it to reduce for a few moments, until almost completely reduced; next, add in the diced tomatoes with their juice, and return the browned spicy Italian sausage back into the pan, and gently fold the mixture to combine; allow it to gently simmer for about 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors, then turn the heat off; to finish the sauce, drizzle in about 2-3 good tablespoons of the olive oil to create a silky, rich flavor, and add in the chopped parsley and about half of the julienned basil; stir, and keep warm while you prepare the noodles. -Prepare the pappardelle noodles according to instructions on package; then, drain the noodles very well, and add them directly into the sauce, using tongs to gently toss and combine the pappardelle noodles with the sauce and all of the ingredients in it; check the seasoning to see if you need to add any additional salt or pepper. -To serve, add equal portions of the "Drunken" noodles to bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining julienned basil; you can even top with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

DRUNKEN CHICKEN NOODLES



Drunken Chicken Noodles image

Drunken Noodles is a Thai dish with Chinese origins, influenced by the Chinese who lived in Laos and Thailand. It is a stir-fried noodle dish traditionally uses broad flat rice noodles stir-fried with meat, shellfish, tofu, vegetables, chile, spices, fish sauce and other seasonings. The name was thought to come about because rice wine is not commonly used in Thai recipes whereas it features in this recipe therefore giving its uniqueness and nod to Chinese heritage. Whatever the real reason for the name, this is a delicious dish and truly versatile. I have used carrots, mangteout and Romano peppers to give the dish sweetness and crunch, plus thigh meat from the chicken because it has more flavour. You can adapt the recipe to your preferences but the combination of seasonings - soy, fish sauce, rice wine, oyster sauce is an absolute must! This makes an easy delicious mid-week supper.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound pad Thai wide flat rice noodles (dried)
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 chiles, sliced
1 pinch dried chili flakes
1 onion, diced
1 pound chicken thighs, skin removed, sliced into 1/3- by 5-inch strips
1 tablespoon Shaosing rice wine
4 1/4 ounces mangteout (snow peas), julienne
2 Romano red peppers, julienne
1 medium carrot, julienned
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium light soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce mixed with 1 teaspoon brown sugar
3 scallions, sliced on a sharp 45-degree diagonal

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles to packet instructions. Drain and refresh under cold water, drizzle 1 tablespoon peanut oil over, mixing well to stop the noodles from sticking, and set aside.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add the remaining peanut oil. Add the garlic, chiles, chili flakes and onions and stir-fry for a few seconds to release their aroma. Add the chicken thighs and stir for 2 minutes. As the chicken starts to turn brown at the edges and turn opaque, add the Shaosing rice wine.
  • Add the mangetout, Romano peppers and carrots and toss together and stir well for 2 minutes. Add the noodles and toss well for 1 minute, and then season with the oyster sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce with sugar; toss well for 1 minute. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.

Tips for Making Drunken Italian Broccoli

  • Choose fresh, tender broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and deep green color.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking a lot of broccoli, cook it in batches so that it doesn't steam instead of sauté.
  • Cook the broccoli over medium-high heat. This will help it brown and caramelize.
  • Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately, while it's still hot and crispy.

Conclusion

Drunken Italian broccoli is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give drunken Italian broccoli a try.
