Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces spaghetti
4 ounces pancetta, diced, or 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 pound green beans (stem ends removed), halved crosswise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.

Add pancetta, cup Parmesan, and enough reserved pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Top with basil and remaining cup Parmesan; serve immediately.

GREEN SPAGHETTI



Green Spaghetti image

Mexican-inspired green spaghetti. Garnish with Cheddar cheese if desired.

Provided by Elizabeth

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large poblano peppers
2 (16 ounce) packages angel hair pasta
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers
4 cups torn romaine lettuce leaves
1 small onion, chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package whipped cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place poblano peppers on a broiler pan on the highest shelf in the oven, 1 inch below the broiler element. Heat the broiler's oven to high. Broil until fifty percent of the tops are charred, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
  • Place peppers in a large plastic bag. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Peel the loosened skin from each pepper. Wipe with a paper towel to remove any remaining pieces. Avoid running peppers under water; this will diminish the charred flavor.
  • Place peeled peppers, canned peppers, romaine, onion, cilantro, and garlic in a blender. Blend until well combined.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in pepper mixture and saute until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix cream cheese and sour cream together and add to the skillet. Stir in lemon juice. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes. Add pasta to the skillet and mix well.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb spaghetti (cooked)
4-7 large poblano peppers (fried and peeled and de-seeded)
1 1/2 c sour cream
4-6 Tbsp milk
2 cubes of knorr's chicken bouillon
2 bunch cilantro, fresh
2 large avocados
1 medium fresh lime juice
IF YOU WISH TO ADD MEAT
4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 lb fresh shrimp (peeled and de-veined)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add spaghetti and cook according to package directions.
  • 2. While spaghetti is boiling, heat a skillet with oil and add poblano peppers, rotate peppers until they turn almost black looking. Or if you have a deep fat fryer, place peppers in the basket, at 350* until skin boils and peppers turn black.
  • 3. Remove peppers from oil, and place onto a paper towel to soak up oil. once cooled enough to handle, remove stems and seeds,(I usually run the peppers under cold water to make sure all the seeds are removed) (peppers are hot do to the seeds in the pepper,so if you love HOT HOT, leave the seeds in) place on a flat surface and take a knife and skin off the skin.
  • 4. Drain, pasta. Once all peppers have been skinned,de-seeded and de-stemmed. place in the blender with the cilantro,milk,lime juice,bouillon and sour cream and blend til everything is liquefied.then add avocados and blend til smooth,
  • 5. place pasta back on the stove top, on med-low heat, add 2-3 Tbs. of oil, and add sauce, toss until heated throughout. ******************************************************** IF ADDING MEAT:::: If you are adding meat to your dish, I do the same thing with both the chicken and shrimp. in a large skillet, add oil. once skillet is hot, add meat of choice, then add Adobe Mexican seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste, cook until done and add to pasta, tossing in while sauce is simmering with the noodles.
  • 6. NOTE: If you like spice add more peppers or leave the seeds in. If your not a fan of spicy, then just used 2-3 peppers only, kids love this dish, my boys have been eating this since they where 1 1/2 years old :) I pray this dish finds its way to your dinner table. Enjoy!

GREEN BEAN SPAGHETTI



Green Bean Spaghetti image

I love spaghetti but don't want to eat the pasta anymore so I brainstormed and realized that green beans might be a good substitute for pasta. I tried it out and it worked great. I now fix this at home and take it to parties, too. I've gotten many compliments on it. It was even included in a low carb recipe book a few years back...

Provided by Marcia McCance

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

SAUTE IN SKILLET WITH A LITTLE OIL
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
ADD AND BROWN
1 lb ground beef (or turkey, etc)
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp italian spices with oregano
1 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
ADD AND COOK TIL BEANS ARE THAWED
3 c frozen cut green beans
ADD AND SIMMER TIL BEANS ARE DONE
1 can(s) tomato sauce (any kind)
1/2 c water
SPRINKLE WITH PARMESAN CHEESE AND SERVE

Steps:

  • 1. This really is a one dish meal -- I adjust the amount of green beans and meat (increase or decrease) to fit the situation and the number of people I'm feeding.
  • 2. I really do just dump the frozen green beans into the pan and cook until they are thawed, cover with sauce, and simmer til tender. Sometimes I add other frozen vegetables, too -- such as broccoli or okra
  • 3. I also like to add some more garlic powder and Italian spices for the last 5 minutes of cooking time to freshen up the flavors. You can also add a little more salt and pepper if you like at that time. Just taste it and see.
