Creamy Avocado Mint Pasta

avocado pasta
I have thrown away far too many overripe avocados in my life. I feel bad about this, but it happens. I've come to terms with it. Just like retail outlets build a theft loss into their budgets, I build in an avocado loss.

Because the thing with avocados is that they exist on their own schedule. You can't rush them, and when they're ready, you'd better be freaking ready, too.

It's like giving birth.

(I'm assuming based on things I've seen on television.)

avocado pasta sauce ingredients
I eat avocado almost every single day. I've recently fallen in love with these little avocados called Gator Eggs. They're small--about half the size of a regular Hass avocado, and the perfect little single serving. They sell them in packs of six, and usually ripen beautifully one or two at a time, so I can get through a whole week of them.

But this week, the alligator eggs were *not* cooperating. I was waiting and waiting and waiting, but they were all rock hard, until suddenly they were all ready. All of them. AT THE SAME TIME!

And I panicked because it was late and I needed a quick way to use them all up. I knew that even waiting until morning could be too long. [Again...like childbirth? Maybe? I probably should stop with this analogy I know nothing about.]

avocado pasta sauce
Anyway, this pasta. A creamy sauce with hints of fresh mint and spice from garlic and red chiles. Eugene loved this stuff. He called it guacamole pasta, but I think the mint makes it less guacamole-ish than actual guacamole.

It's creamy, it's dairy-free, and it's very, very good.

Give it a try soon, because time and tide and avocados and babies-about-to-be-born [I assume] wait for no [wo]man.

Disclaimer: please note that despite all the childbirth references above, the only thing I'm pregnant with is ideas.

Creamy Avocado Mint Pasta
Serves 2-4

Ingredients
1/2 pound small shaped pasta (such as penne or orrechiette)
2 ripe avocados
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves, rinsed and patted dry
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 large lime, juiced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes (optional)
Kosher salt to taste

Directions
Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta according to package timing for "al dente."

While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine the avocados, mint, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, water, and chile flakes, if using. Puree until very smooth, adding a tiny bit more warm water a tablespoon at a time if it is too thick. You're looking for a sauce with the consistency of a loose mayonnaise.

Season with kosher salt and puree again to combine evenly.

Add the sauce to the cooked and drained hot pasta and toss to coat. Divide into plates and garnish with a bit of fresh mint and a pinch of chile flakes.

Easy Homemade Spicy Ketchup

I've been making homemade ketchup for several years, but it wasn't until a few days ago that I realized I haven't actually shared any of those recipes here. HUGE oversight on my part, as this is one of the easiest and coolest recipes I know.  Sorry about that, but I'm fixing it now!

No more complicated than making a simple homemade pasta sauce, you really only have to combine some ingredients in a pot, let simmer, and then puree into a flavorful and luscious ketchup that will blow that squeeze-bottle stuff out of the water.

This recipe is for one of my favorite variations--a spicy ketchup with just a tiny bit of smoke from chipotle peppers, and plenty of heat from ground cayenne. A touch of lime juice adds another dimension.

I love this one with baked sweet potato fries, spread on a burger, or with crunchy chicken tenders for dipping. I'm sure it would be awesome about a billion other ways, too.

Seriously, you can't go wrong with this one.

Chimichurri Pasta Salad

Chimichurri--the savory, spicy herb sauce from Argentina--is one of my absolute favorite condiments. Typically served with churrasco or other grilled steaks, it's also fantastic used in other dishes as a spread or sauce. In this pasta salad recipe, easy homemade chimichurri takes the place of pesto for a light dish that's perfect on its own or as a side with your favorite protein.

This is the second out of three Latin pasta recipes I'm creating for Barilla this Fall, and it's one that I think will work well all year long. Enjoy it warm or room temperature in the cool months, and serve it as a cold pasta salad when the weather heats up again. It's perfect for those days when you're looking for a quick and creative alternative to rice or the other usual side dishes

The trick to make this dish sensational is to make the chimichurri from scratch--a super simple process (you really just need a blender or a food processor and about 2 minutes!) that really makes all the difference as it allows you to control the ingredients and adjust the seasoning so that it is perfect for your family.

Do they love spice? Feel free to pump up the red pepper flakes. Or play around with the herbs you know your family loves.

While traditional chimichurri is made with just parsley, I like to add cilantro to brighten up the dish. If you're not a fan, you can just skip it and use all parsley (or replace it with another favorite herb like basil or mint!).

I love using Barilla® Plus® multigrain Elbows for this dish. They're 44% higher in protein, have almost twice (!) as much fiber than traditional pasta, and--due to the small shape--create the perfect balance between sauce and pasta in every mouthful.  It's a natural choice for a pasta salad, and a great way to introduce your family to more nutritious whole grain pasta.

(And don't worry, because the taste and texture is seriously just as good as the regular kind. Eugene--who is notoriously picky about these things--couldn't even tell the difference!)

I served my pasta salad as a side with grilled steak, the way I would typically serve rice. The chimichurri flavors worked perfectly with the steak, and the savory pasta was a welcome change to the usual rice and beans. You can also dice up grilled chicken or cooked shrimp and toss with the pasta to make it a complete meal all on its own.

Have you ever served pasta as a side dish with your dinner? What other kinds of protein would you pair with this dish--let me know in the comments below!

This is a sponsored post written as part of my ongoing partnership with Barilla, however, the recipes and opinions are entirely my own. I have not been paid to publish positive sentiments towards Barilla or their products.




Chimichurri Pasta Salad

Serves 8

For the pasta:
1 pound Barilla® PLUS® elbow pasta (or your favorite variety)
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

For the chimichurri sauce:
1 1/2 cups fresh parsley with only the bottom two inches of stems removed (about 1/2 average sized bunch)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
Bring 1 gallon of water to boil in a large pot. Once the water is boiling, season  with 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt.

While the water boils, combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a food processor or blender, and puree until very smooth.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook 1 minute less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water, and add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or chill in refrigerator overnight. The flavor will improve after a couple hours of sitting.

Pasta can be served cold or warm as a side with steak, chicken, or other protein.

Flourless Cashew Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)

A few weeks ago, I went on a bit of a nut buying binge. I'm not sure what prompted it, but at the height of craziness I looked around and realized I had pounds and pounds of nuts in my kitchen. I was like a squirrel saving up for winter.

I've slowly worked my way through most of them, except for a lonely bag of raw cashews that was just sitting in my refrigerator door.

At first I was going to make a cashew cheese dip with it (it's something I make regularly for the vegan yoga groups I cook for up in Vermont), but then realized that I also have a fridge full of real cheese, so what the hell would be the point of making fake cheese?

(Answer: there would be no point. Absolutely NO point.)

So a little non-vegan baking was clearly the way to go.

I decided to make a nut meal by grinding the cashews up in the food processor, then using them the way I'd typically use almond meal. Combined with a bit of ground gluten-free oats, they made a beautiful base for this cake. I love how the cake has a bit of a crunchy crust while staying moist and slightly crumbly on the inside.

Olive oil instead of butter. Crunchy turbinado sugar. A real vanilla bean scraped in and flecked throughout the batter.

Seriously. So much good stuff going on here.

And if you eat paleo, you can easily adapt this by subbing in coconut palm sugar and quinoa for the oats. Now everybody can enjoy!

The final cake is a perfect tea time cake.

Or coffee time cake.

Or breakfast time cake.

Or The Mindy Project is about to start in, like, two minutes and I need something sweet time cake.

(That happens to you guys, too, right?)

A little sprinkle of powdered sugar on top using my super cool new powdered sugar wand which you can kind of see in the top left of the above photo (Say what? Seriously!), and this lovely one-bowl baby was good to go.

Flourless Cashew Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)
Makes 1 9" cake (about 8 servings)

Ingredients
2 cups coarsely ground raw cashews
1/3 cup coarsely ground rolled oats (use gluten-free oats to make this cake GF) OR rinsed and toasted quinoa
1 cup turbinado sugar (such as "sugar in the raw") OR coconut palm sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, beaten well
1/2 cup olive oil
1 whole vanilla bean, scraped OR 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure orange extract (optional)

Confectioner's sugar, for garnish (optional)

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" round spring-form pan and layer the bottom with a round of parchment paper.

Grilled Thai Red Curry Shrimp

While doing groceries last week, I saw that those amazing giant whole shrimp that I love were on sale again, so I snatched up a bunch to play around with.

The last time I got them, I made more of a Spanish-inspired dish with chorizo and smoked paprika, but this time I decided to play around with Asian flavors.

I whisked together a quick marinade using red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice. Just three simple ingredients that pack a ton of flavor.

After 30 minutes of marinating, I grilled the shrimp on a stove-top grill pan (I use this Le Creuset grill pan, which is one of my faves, but an outdoor grill would be even better!), and then tossed them in a sauce made from melted butter and a bit more curry paste. This created a luscious sauce that coated the shrimp thoroughly (all the better for licking off your fingers later on!).

To eat, I like to serve these in a big bowl, with a separate bowl for shells and a big pile of napkins on the side. It's a fun, messy dish that's perfect for sharing with friends. Try it with cold beers or a fizzy sparkling wine to cut through the heat.

Like with my previous whole shrimp recipe, this will also work with peeled shrimp, though in that case you really only need to marinate for about 10 minutes, and the cook time will also be shorter.

Let me know what you think about these if you try them! Post a pic on Instagram or Twitter and use the hashtag #alwaysorderdessert. I can't wait to see your creations!

Grilled Thai Red Curry Shrimp
Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 as an entree

Ingredients
10 giant whole shrimp (with heads on)
4 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Dried Thai basil, red chile flakes for garnish

Directions
Use a pair of kitchen shears to snip along the back of the shrimp, pulling out the vein. Place shrimp in a large bowl. Add half the curry paste, the fish sauce, lime juice, and salt, and toss until evenly combined and coated. Place in fridge and let marinate 30 minutes.

Combine melted butter and remaining curry paste in a clean large bowl.

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill, and cook the shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the butter and curry paste, then toss to coat evenly.

Place in a serving bowl and season with kosher salt. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried basil and chile flakes.

Serve hot.

Baked Argentinian Chorizo Empanadas

Empanadas have long been one of my favorite savory snacks. A delicious dough-y package filled with goodness? Yeah, it's tough to go wrong.

I grew up eating the Puerto Rican kind, which are called pastelillos, and typically made from a fried chewy crust stuffed with a variety of fillings (everything from ground meat to sweet guava paste). Cheese was usually my favorite, and when my mom made them, I would camp out near the stove stealing them as they came out of the pan.

One of my best friends in high school was Colombian, so at her house, we ate crispy little yellow empanadas made with a thick corn dough, often served with a spicy dipping sauce.

I also loved the pastelitos sold at the bakeries in the nearby Cuban neighborhood. Those were flakier with more of a puff pastry-like dough, and I usually went for the sweet versions filled with guava paste and topped with a sticky glaze.

As I grew older, I got to taste more and more, and recently have grown quite smitten with Argentinian style empanadas. Unlike the ones I grew up with, these are typically baked, and made with an easy soft dough that is a cinch to prepare at home.

I don't like to do much frying in my kitchen because I don't have a hood over my stove (read: the entire apartment smells like grease for dayzzzz), so a baked empanada is TOTALLY my style.

While you can definitely use regular all-purpose flour for this dough, I would recommend trying to find Italian "00" flour (easily available on Amazon or specialty cooking stores), which is a finely milled flour that's amazing for making things like pizza dough and bread.

It produces a crust that is the perfect mix of chewy and crisp--totally worth it if you can find it!

For the filling, I used smoked Spanish-style chorizo that I chopped coursely in the food processor and then cooked with a mix of vegetables including cauliflower, carrots, and spinach (you could easily substitute your favorites, or even chop up leftover veggies like potatoes, butternut squash, or broccoli.)

It's a little bit of a lighter twist on the more traditional filling, which usually combines potatoes with the sausage.

A slice of hardboiled egg is another classic touch (though feel free to skip if that's not your thing.)

As for the crimping, I have to confess that this has never been my strong suit. I seriously just don't have the patience for the traditional twists and folds--I'll do it for a couple, and then just use a fork to crimp the rest. It makes absolutely ZERO difference to the flavor, so don't stress about it too much.

These will keep well for a few days and can be reheated in a toaster oven for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. I also love them cold for lunch. You may want to double the batch...

Baked Argentinian Chorizo Empanadas 
Makes about 10 large empanadas

Ingredients
For the Dough
3 cups type "00" flour OR use regular all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons sweet smoked Spanish paprika
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1 cup half & half or heavy cream

For the filling
1 pound smoked Spanish-style chorizo (should be fully-cooked--not fresh chorizo)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups baby spinach
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
2 hardboiled eggs, sliced (optional)

1 large egg, slightly beaten

Directions
First prepare the dough: combine flour, salt, and paprika in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and egg yolk, and pulse again until evenly combined. Turn on and slowly add the cream until the dough comes together in a large ball (you may not need all the cream).

Remove dough from food processor, divide in half, and form into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the filling: Place chorizo links in the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions and chorizo. Saute for 2-3 minutes, then add the cauliflower, carrots, and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer until vegetables are very tender and most of the water has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach (the heat from the meat will wilt the spinach). Let cool to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
Remove dough from the fridge and working with one disc at a time, roll it out to about 1/8" of an inch thick. Use an upside-down bowl to cut out rounds about 5-6 inches in diameter.

Fill each round with a few spoonfuls of the mixture plus one slice of egg. Brush the edges with the beaten egg, and fold over, then crimp with a fork or your fingers. Place on the prepared baking sheet, then repeat with rest of dough. (You can also brush the entire empanada with a bit more egg for more of a glossy crust.)

Bake 20 - 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve hot.

Make-ahead Note: You can also freeze the unbaked empanadas for baking later.

Cranberry Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake

Cranberry Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake
When it comes to Fall produce, I find cranberries significantly more exciting than pumpkin. I love pumpkins for the color and decorative quality, but I'm not a huge fan of eating them or even cooking with them. But cranberries? Cranberries I absolutely love!

cranberry upside down cake
I was shopping a few weeks ago, when I spotted the first cranberries of the season at the market, and made sure to snatch up a couple bags. I had something clear in mind for them, and couldn't wait to try it out. A sweet and tart upside-down cake with a slightly crumbly cornmeal base, and a crunchy brown sugar topping with just a hint of cinnamon.

Or basically: everything I ever want in an autumn dessert.

fresh cranberry cake
This cake comes together quickly, simply prep the pan by coating it with melted butter and crunchy raw sugar (something like this turbinado sugar works best here), then whip up the cake batter.

A quick 30 minutes in the oven, followed by a flip out onto a serving board, and you have yourself an elegant dessert that looks as gorgeous as it tastes.

Cranberry Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake
I love enjoying this one while it's still a little bit warm--no need to wait that long after it comes out of the oven.

Here I served it plain, but I also love it with some softly whipped cream.

Cranberry Upside-Down Cake
And just so you know, the leftovers ARE fantastic with coffee in the morning.

Cranberry Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake
Yields about 8 servings

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (or "sugar in the raw")
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups cranberries
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup half & half

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut 2 tablespoons from the butter and melt in the microwave or on a stovetop. Pour into an 8" or 9" round baking pan, and swirl to coat well. Add the turbinado sugar and tilt the pan until it forms an even crust on the bottom. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and add the cranberries in a single flat layer.

In the base of an electric mixer, cream the remaining butter and the granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes), then beat in the egg for an additional 2 minutes, followed by the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, and then add to the creamed butter along with the half & half. Mix just until combined.

Spoon batter over the cranberries, and spread out evenly with the back of a wet spoon.

Bake 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, before running a knife along the sides, and flipping out onto a serving dish. Replace any cranberries that stick to the pan, and serve slightly warm.

Whole Shrimp with Spicy Chorizo Broth

Last winter, I went to a friend's book release party at chic loft space downtown. As we entered the building, the publicists at the door checked us in, then handed us a blank "My name is..." sticker and marker, and instructed us to write down a favorite food or ingredient in the spot where one would typically write one's name.

I did this, and then entered the party which was filled with clever attractive people wearing nametags that said things like "tater tots" or "dark chocolate."

The idea was a clever one, serving as an instant icebreaker since you could easily walk up to strangers, and say things like "Have you tried the caneles at Bouchon Bakery?" or "I make a fantastic veal marsala!"


Instant friends! Or lovers...  Or both...(::she says, with a sly look in her eye::)

My nametag, it should come as no surprise, said "chorizo," on it.  And had we been invited to include a few other things, would also have said "shrimp heads," because that's definitely another one of my loves.

This dish of Whole Shrimp simmered in a Spicy Chorizo Broth is one of those quick, but luxurious dishes that basically BEGS to be shared with friends. Set a plate in the center of the table and invite everyone to dig in. It's messy and sexy and so much fun.

All you really need to accompany it is a warm loaf of crusty bread, some wine, and maybe a salad.

Oh, and a couple dishes for the shells.


And napkins. You'll definitely need napkins, too.

Note that while you absolutely could make this with headless, tail-on, shrimp, the whole ones are really SO much better. They add incredible flavor to the broth, and way more fun to eat.

(And you absolutely, definitely, positively MUST suck on the heads since that is the best part of this whole thing. If you're squeamish about that sort of thing, I'm just going to have to insist that you get over it because you're missing out.)
