• Salt
• ½ lb. pasta
• 2 cups Pecorino Romano
• 4 tbsp Capatriti EVOO
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp. butter
• Pepper
Directions:
Salt water and bring to a boil. In a separate pan, mix EVOO, butter and garlic. Keep on low. Cook pasta until just before al dente (about a minute or so less than normal). Collect ¼ cup of starchy pasta water. Strain the pasta. Toss in pan with EVOO mixture and turn heat up high. Mix in cheese and pepper, stirring constantly. Add water and reduce until you reach desired consistency. Serve hot. Share.
Combine egg, mustard, lemon juice, EVOO, salt and pepper in a tall container (slightly larger than immersion blender head*). Place blender to the bottom of the container and turn on. Wait 10 seconds before slowly pulling blender to the top. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse for an additional 30 seconds.
* Don’t have an immersion blender? You can mix by hand, with one change: pour OO in slowly as you mix ingredients.
For the chips, whisk together flour, chili and garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. In a small bowl, beat eggs. Meanwhile, heat oil. Coat zucchini slices in egg wash. Cover in flour mixture and place in oil. Fry until golden brown. Dry on wire rack (or paper towels). Plate with Chipotle Mayo. Share.
