Spicy Penne Charmaine
Pasta: Italian, Asian, American...and More

Food & Wine Books, Editor in Chief: Judith Hill, 1997,
American Express Publishing Corp.

Alibris

“Mike Fennelly of Mike’s on the Avenue [St. Charles, that is] in New
Orleans* brings us this outrageous fusion of flavors from the Orient,
Italy and the American Southwest. We think you’ll agree, the combina-
tion is not at all strange tasting. In fact it’s superb. Mike created this
pasta for his number-one assistant, Charmaine Morel, using all of her
favorite flavors.”

Wine Recommendation:  Try to find an easygoing, undemanding white
wine to drink alongside this dish. A reliable choice would be a Pinot
Grigio from just about anywhere in Italy or an Orvieto.

Serves 4

3 tablespoons chopped spinach leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tomato
2 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese,
plus more for serving
1 scallion including green top, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
(nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeño pepper
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Chimayo or ancho chile powder,
or any other medium-hot chile powder, or
1/4 teaspoon cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon
paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
3/4 pound penne

1. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, basil, fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, cream, Parmesan, scallion, oil, tomato paste, fish sauce, jalapeño, lime
juice, garlic, sugar, chile powder, salt, and pepper.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne until just done,
about 13 minutes. Drain.
3. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
