VEAL CHOPS WITH PUTTANESCA SAUCE AND ALFREDO SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- To a microwave-safe dish add 1/4 inch of water. Place the spaghetti squash in the dish cut side down. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. With a small knife puncture a few holes in the plastic so that the steam has a way to escape. Place the squash in the microwave on High power for 17 minutes.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of the EVOO. Add the anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes. With a wooden spoon, mash the anchovies into the oil as it heats. The anchovies will begin to melt about after 1 to 2 minutes and they will develop a nutty flavor. Add the olives, capers, and tomatoes and bring it up to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until ready to serve.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Liberally season the veal chops with salt and pepper. Once the pan is screaming hot and you see the first wafts of smoke rising, add the chops to the hot skillet and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around in the pan; you want a nice brown crust on them and messing with them won't help you get there. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium; flip and cook them on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest, covered with a foil tent for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the spaghetti squash from the microwave very carefully-it is piping hot. Using a fork, scrape the "spaghetti" from the squash shell and place in a bowl. Toss the "spaghetti" with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Serve each chop with some of the puttanesca sauce on top and a portion of the "spaghetti Alfredo" alongside.
Tips:
- To ensure a flavorful and tender veal chop, choose veal chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Before cooking, season the veal chops generously with salt and pepper.
- For a perfectly cooked veal chop, sear it over high heat for a few minutes per side, then reduce the heat and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
- To make the Alfredo sauce, use high-quality Parmesan cheese and heavy cream.
- For a richer sauce, add a little bit of white wine or chicken broth.
- Serve the veal chops with the Alfredo sauce immediately.
