Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fettuccine noodles (use gluten-free, legume, or zucchini noodles if desired)
4 garlic cloves
1 small head cauliflower (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), enough for 6 cups florets
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
2 cups vegetable broth
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 + 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Finely chopped parsley, to serve

Steps:

  • Mince the garlic. Chop the cauliflower.
  • Make the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside). Then drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, start the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven, pot, or saucepan (that has a cover) over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and cashews and saute for 4 minutes until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the vegetable broth, onion powder, black pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes on medium high heat until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Blend the sauce: Carefully transfer the contents to a blender and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon more black pepper. Blend on high until a smooth sauce forms.
  • Serve: Pour about 5 cups into 1 pound pasta (1 cup will be left over), or use it to taste. Top with finely chopped parsley and serve immediately.

FRIED CASHEWS WITH LIME ZEST AND CHILE



Fried Cashews With Lime Zest and Chile image

This is my take on a popular bar snack in Thailand: freshly fried cashews tossed with salt, chiles, scallions, and lime zest. Simple but so good with a beer.

Provided by Pepper Teigen

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
1 cup raw cashews
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Roasted Chile Powder
2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Fill a small saucepan with 1 inch oil and set over medium heat. Line a plate with paper towels and set it near the stove.
  • When the oil is shimmering-hot, carefully add the cashews and fry, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep in mind: The cashews will continue to cook after being removed from the oil and become a darker shade of brown, so it's best to remove them when they are still a little pale. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cashews to the paper towels to drain.
  • Place the hot cashews in a serving bowl and sprinkle evenly with the salt and brown sugar, tossing to coat. Add the scallions, chile powder, and lime zest and toss once more. Serve warm.
