Pasta alla Gricia with Silvered Sugar Snap Peas
"Pasta alla gricia is a very simple Roman pasta dish consisting of guanciale (cured pork jowl) and pecorino. As I do with many traditional Italian dishes, I use the classic as a springboard for improvisation," says chef Joshua McFadden of Ava Gene's in Portland. "Here I add very thinly sliced snap peas, which creates an amazing texture as well as adds a fresh green note to the otherwise quite rich pasta. And I use my Cacio e Pepe Butter as a perfect shortcut, once again demonstrating that a well-stocked larder means delicious food in minutes."
Blistered Snap Peas with Fish Sauce Vinaigrette, Roasted Cashews, and Basil
"We like to use fish sauce in nontraditional ways, letting it enhance dishes more firmly rooted in French, Italian, and even South American cooking," says Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton. For instance, she and Greg Denton may substitute fish sauce for anchovies in Caesar dressing or splash it into a slow-simmered braise to develop depth. They like to serve this dish as a side to a variety of grilled meats and seafood, but may love it even more served over steamed rice with extra chopped cashews for a light and healthy one-bowl meal.
