Serving Size: 2-3
Prep Time:  10 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time:  40 Minutes

Ingredients:

8-9 oz. Pappardelle's Gluten-Free Hatch Green Chile Small Trumpets
2 Tbsp neutral oil, divided
2 tsp. paprika
5 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
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 cilantro for garnish

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the paprika, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Coat the chicken in oil and seasoning blend and place on a baking sheet pan. Bake until golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. Once done, remove from oven to cool. Once cool slice into 1 in cubes. 
  2. To prepare, bring 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta to water, return water to a gentle boil and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente, stirring intermittently. Drain and set aside. 
  3. Heat the butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat.
  4. When the butter bubbles, add the green chile peppers. Cook to warm through and brown slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. Give the sauce a taste, and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
  8. Add the pasta to the sauce, and toss until coated. Serve and enjoy!
