The creamy and subtly spicy Chile Crisp Fettuccini Alfredo with Spinach is outstandingly good. The chili crisp gets sizzled in butter before adding cream and parmesan cheese. Chili crisp is a condiment of oil infused with peppers, onions, and garlic, and is satisfyingly crispy, and crunchy. This recipe will be on repeat.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Salt

4 tablespoons butter

1 to 2 tablespoons chile crisp, plus more to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 pound dried fettuccine

1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach

¾ cup finely grated Parmesan (2¼ ounces), plus more for serving

Directions

1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2While the water heats, melt the butter with the chile crisp in a very large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat. Whisk in the cream and keep warm over low. (It should steam, not bubble.)

3Cook the fettuccine until al dente according to the package directions. Use tongs to transfer the noodles to the cream mixture, reserving the pasta water. Add the spinach and turn with tongs until the noodles are well coated.

4Add the Parmesan and toss, still over low heat, until the noodles are slicked with a creamy sauce, adding a spoonful or two of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Divide among serving dishes and top with Parmesan and more chile crisp, if you’d like. Serve immediately.

I just copied that out of the NYT last night! I usually find Alfred kind of boring, but this looks wonderful, brilliant combination of flavors. Glad to hear your endorsement of it, can’t wait to try it.
