CARRABBA'S CAVATAPPI AMATRICIANA (SIDE DISH PASTA)



Carrabba's Cavatappi Amatriciana (Side Dish Pasta) image

This is an approximate verision of Carrabba's. This is served in the restaurant as a side dish but would be just fine as a main dish when pancetta is added in. Cavatappi pasta is a short tubed corkscrew or S-shaped pasta. It can be hard to find but I was able to find it called "Twists" by the pasta brand DaVinci (blue bag).

PASTA CARRABBA RECIPE - (4/5)



Pasta Carrabba Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by รก-13856

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, (about 8oz. each, pounded out 1/2 inch thickness)
1 1/2 tsp. Carrabba's Grill Seasoning (see separate post)
2 T Carrabba's Grill Baste (see separate post)
1 T extra virgin olive oil
10 oz. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups Carrabba's Alfredo Sauce (see separate post)
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
kosher salt & ground black pepper
1 lb. fresh fettuccine
1/2 cup (2oz)freshly grated Romano cheese, plus more for serving
chopped fresh flat parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare an outdoor grill for direct cooking with medium heat. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste. 2. Season the chicken breast halves with the grill seasoning, and brush on both sides with the grill baste. Let stand at room temperature while the grill heats. 3. Brush the grill clean. Lightly oil the grate. Put the chicken on the grill. Cook with the lid closed as much as possible, until the chicken feels firm when pressed on top about 10 minutes. Transfer to a carving board and let stand while making the sauce and cooking the pasta. 4. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ALfredo sauce and peas and bring to a simmer. Cut the chicken across the grain into 1/2 inch thick slices and add to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. 5. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water. Stir well to separate the strands. Cook,stirring occasionally, according to the package directions, until al dente. Drain well. 6. Return the fettuccine to its cooking pot. Add the sauce and Romano cheese and toss with tongs until the pasta is nicely coated. Divided the pasta among 4 serving bowls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pasta dishes will taste. This is especially true for vegetables, herbs, and seafood.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the goal. Cook it until it is just tender to the bite.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in many pasta dishes. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season the pasta water: Salting the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta. Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to every 4 quarts of water.
  • Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta removes the starch, which makes it more difficult for the sauce to stick to the pasta.
  • Use a large pot: Use a large pot to cook the pasta so that it has plenty of room to move around.
  • Reserve some pasta water: Reserve some of the pasta water before draining the pasta. This can be used to loosen up the sauce if it is too thick.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This is when it is at its most flavorful.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you can make delicious pasta dishes at home that will rival any restaurant. Just remember to use fresh ingredients, cook the pasta al dente, and use a good quality olive oil. With a little creativity, you can also experiment with different sauces and toppings to create your own unique pasta dishes.
