Simple Chipotle Fettuccine Recipe

Sometimes you don't need a clever name for a dish because it speaks for itself. This is the case with the simple chipotle fettuccine recipe. This recipe utilizes our Pastamore Chipotle Fettuccine, and is simple, smoky, and delicious.

This recipe is a great example of how our products can make a fantastically quick and delicious meal. This recipe only took as long as it took for the water to come to a boil and the pasta to cook. The pasta has a nice medium level of heat that is smoky and flavorful. Spice up your holidays with a little chipotle!

Ingredients:
1 12 oz package - Pastamore Chipotle Fettuccine
1 oz - olive oil or vegetable oil
2 medium - gray squash (Mexican squash)
5 - Roma tomatoes
1/2 - medium yellow onion
To taste - salt and black pepper
1 avocado - for garnish

Directions:
1. Place a large pot of water on the stove over high heat (minimum 1 gallon of water). Cut the tops and bottoms from the squash and cut into quartered coins. Place a large pan on the stove over medium high-heat. Dice the onion into a small dice and combine with the squash. When the pan is hot add the oil and allow to heat. Once hot, add the squash and onions.

2. Dice the tomatoes into 1/4" x 1/4" pieces, and place the tomatoes to the side. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta to the pot along with a drizzle of oil and and 2 Tbsp of salt.

3. Cook the squash and onion until they both have browned a little bit. Once this has been achieved, add the tomatoes to the pan and turn the heat up to high. Cook until the tomatoes have released a good amount of water, and then turn off the burner and remove from the heat.

4. When the pasta has been cooked strain through a colander, reserving just a little of the cooking liquid. Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in, and add the sauce to the pasta. Stir until mixed well. Plate and garnish with avocado.
