Ingredients
- 1 lb. fettuccine pasta uncooked
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup chopped roasted Hatch chile peppers (mild) 4 oz.
- 4 garlic cloves finely minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese*
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Follow the instructions on its packaging. Drain in a colander, drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Heat the butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat.
- When the butter bubbles, add the green chile peppers. Cook to warm through and brown slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low, and pour in the cream and milk. Add the grated parmesan cheese, and stir until smooth, creamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes.
- Give the sauce a taste, and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, and toss until coated.
- Serve the pasta in bowls.
- Garnish with parsley and a sprinkling of extra parmesan cheese, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
How to store: Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. When reheating, prepare to add a little extra milk to the pasta sauce since it will coagulate in the fridge. Reheat in 30-second increments in the microwave.

Make it spicier. Use spicy green chiles instead of mild green chiles for more heat in this dish!
