Green Chile Pasta & Panko Parmesan Puff

Panko breadcrumbs are the Japanese style of breadcrumb, specifically created with a coarse grind to create more “crunch.”

That’s exactly what we are after here – CRUNCH.

Texture and TASTE.

Thus, along with the crunch of toasted breadcrumbs, we combine the subtle spice and exquisite flavor of roasted green chiles with the salty and savory umami of Parmesan cheese and serve it all tossed with linguine al dente.

This flavor combination will send you sailing stars ✨!

Green Chile Pasta & Panko Parmesan Puff 

6 oz. linguine pasta, cooked al dente
4 Tbs. butter, divided
sea salt and pepper
1/4 cup mild green chiles, diced
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (coarse breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated

 

After boiling the linguine, drain and add 2 Tbs. butter. 

 

Cover and let the butter melt. 

 

Season with salt and pepper.

 

Meanwhile, heat the additional 2 Tbs. butter over medium heat. 

Sauté the green chiles and breadcrumbs (stirring constantly) until light and crispy.

Once crispy and puffy, remove from heat.
