Now, I'm thinking that maybe I dreamed the whole thing because I can't find the link on line, so I'll give you my rendition at the very least of what I believed to have watched Giada make.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic (roughly chopped)
- 2 handfuls of fresh mint leaves
- 1 jalapeno pepper (or habanero) - halved with seeds & ribs removed (leave the seeds if you want it extra hot!)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 cup freshly grated roman cheese*
Make it!
- Puree the first seven ingredients together in a food processor or blender & set aside.
- Cook pasta in salted water until al dente.
- Drain pasta & toss immediately with romano cheese (if you only have parmesan - use that too - this extra cheese helps the sauce stick to the pasta. mmm cheese!)
- Add the minty hot sauce to the pasta, toss & serve.
- If you're up to throwing another ingredient into the mix add some cut steamed asparagus.
