Spicy and Cool Pasta Salad
From the 2011 Pasta Extravaganza Contest
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Makes 8-10 side dish servings
Ingredients:
- 1 box Dreamfields Penne Rigate
- 2 ears corn or 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 2 poblanochiles, roasted, peeled and chopped (see note)
- 1 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese (see note)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup mango chutney
- 2 tablespoons chili oil (see note)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Remove pasta from pot; do not discard pasta water. Rinse pasta with cold water until completely cooled; drain again. Place in large bowl. Return pasta water to stove; bring to boil.
Meanwhile, shuck corn and remove silks. Place in boiling pasta water 5 to 7 minutes or until corn is tender. Drain; rinse with cold water until completely cooled. Cut corn off cob.
Add corn, chopped poblanos, cheese, chives, cilantro and salt to pasta; toss to combine. In small bowl, stir together chutney and chili oil. Pour over pasta mixture; toss until coated. Serve immediately. To serve chilled, do not add dressing. Cover and refrigerate pasta mixture. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving; toss with dressing.
Notes:
To roast poblano chiles, cut poblanos in half; remove membrane and seeds. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chiles cut side down on baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from heat source, about 5 minutes or until blackened; check periodically. Place in plastic bag 10 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop chiles.
Crumbled feta or shredded Mexican cheese blend may be substituted for the queso fresco.
If chili oil is not available, substitute 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
