Recipe Share: Delicata Squash Pappardelle

Ingredients

1 pound dried pappardelle pasta (can sub fettuccine)

1/2 bunch kale, washed and stems removed

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 small delicata squash, cubed

1 small onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup dry white wine (sub water if you prefer)

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Olive oil for drizzling


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

  2. Drizzle the cherry tomatoes and cubed delicata squash liberally with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in one layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the tomatoes wilt and squash browns on the edges, 20-30 minutes (the smaller you cube your squash, the crispier the edges will get).

  3. Meanwhile, tear the kale leaves into small pieces and drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until crispy. They burn easily so start checking after 8 minutes.

  4. Set the cooked vegetables aside. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the pasta and cook until just shy of al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

  5. Heat a Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the white wine (or use water) and cook until the liquid is almost fully reduced.

  6. Add the cooked pasta and the reserved pasta water and toss together, cooking for about a minute.

  7. Remove from the heat and toss with the vegetables. Top each plate with a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

 

Chilaquiles

Ingredients

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed and quartered

4 garlic cloves, unpeeled

2 medium green chiles, stems removed, chiles cut in half lengthwise (do not seed)

1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges

1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

1 tsp salt, plus more for sprinkling

1 ear sweet corn, kernels shaved off

2 cups vegetable oil

12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, each cut into 6 wedges

1/2 cup sour cream

1 large avocado, cut into thin wedges

1 large tomato, chopped

4 ounces queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese) or mild feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)

4 fried eggs, for serving


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Arrange tomatillos, garlic, chiles, and onion in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil until vegetables are lightly charred in spots and slightly softened, about 12 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove and discard garlic skins, and add garlic back to tomatillo mixture.

  2. Process the tomatillo mixture, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Set tomatillo salsa aside.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high. Working in 4 batches, fry tortillas, until lightly brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain fried tortillas on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Discard oil from skillet, and wipe clean.

  4. Pour tomatillo salsa into skillet over medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until hot and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Add fried tortilla chips, and stir gently to coat. Divide chip mixture evenly among bowls, and top evenly with sour cream, avocado wedges, tomato, corn, cheese, and fried eggs. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
