Cooking Query: Lime Pasta
So, there's a lime tree at my house and a surplus of limes. So far, I've done fairly well with pasta dishes at my house, i.e. my parents actually eat the dish. Most of my pastas have been of the marinara variety, however, and I am thinking about branching out a bit.
Do any of you guys or gals have a lime and pasta recipe I should give a go? Here's a recipe I'm thinking about trying:
TOMATO AND CILANTRO PASTA
Serves 4.
2 qts. hottest possible tap water
1 sm. bunch (1 c. tightly packed leaves) cilantro
1 sm. bunch fresh chives
1 c. fresh parsley leaves, chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 sm. jalapeno pepper, seeded (optional)
3/4 c. plain nonfat yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 lb. dried rotini
2 lg. tomatoes, cored and diced
In a food processor puree the cilantro, chives, parsley, garlic, jalapeno, yogurt, lime juice and Parmesan. Season to taste with pepper.
Cook pasta, drain. Add tomatoes and sauce.
