As the weather starts to cool down, I find myself craving comforting dishes with a bit of a kick. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Szechuan Pasta, a unique fusion of Italian and Chinese flavors that will surely warm you up and tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 200g linguine
• 150g chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, julienned
• 100g snow peas, trimmed
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• colander
• tongs

Start by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and chicken slices, and sauté until the chicken is cooked through. Add bell pepper, snow peas, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Szechuan peppercorns, and chili flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet along with a splash of pasta water. Toss everything together until well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water as needed.

Serve the Spicy Szechuan Pasta in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy this flavorful fusion dish hot, and feel free to adjust the spice level to your liking.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 900g, with 4 servings at 225g each. Each serving of Spicy Szechuan Pasta is approximately 400 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to toast the Szechuan peppercorns before crushing them. This will enhance their flavor and aroma, adding an extra layer of complexity to the dish.

I hope you give this Spicy Szechuan Pasta a try and enjoy the delicious blend of Italian and Chinese flavors. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make it your own with different vegetables or proteins. Happy cooking!
