FETTUCCINI WITH ZUCCHINI CREAM SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter
5 large garlic cloves, finely minced
6 cups grated zucchini
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons anchovy paste or 3 anchovy filets (optional)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1-1/2 cups heavy cream or combination heavy and light creams
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound fettuccini, cooked al dente
Freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (or mixture)
Heat olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté about 1 minute. Increase temperature to medium-high. Add zucchini and sauté until tender; do not brown. There should be some moisture from cooked zucchini in pan, but not too much. Add basil, salt and pepper. Add anchovy paste, if desired. Stir well. Add wine and cook until slightly reduced. Add cream and nutmeg. Cook until reduced by about half. Taste for additional seasoning. Pour over hot fettuccini and toss until well combined. Serve immediately, passing grated cheese. Serves 4.
If you like to serve spicey things at televised football events, I have a great one called ‘Alabama Hot-cheese Pones’. Simple to make: Bisquick, grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (I make big batches, so two cups of bisquick to two and a half cups of grated cheese, and you can add grated parmesan aslo), blend the dry with the grated cheese (refrigerated cheese is best for mixing) and add Tabasco sauce until the batter is a thick biscuit dough; spoon into heaping tablespoon mounds on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten the mounds to about 1/2 inch thick and bake one and a half times longer than biscuits, at 400 degrees. Let cool before lifting off onto a cooling rack. They are really a great side for summer salad meals, too! If you like them more crispy, add a tablespoon of baking soda to the batter and flatten the mounds to 1/4 inch for baking. The best thing to serve them with is cold Heineken beer ...
