Mario Batali's Fettuccine With Lemon, Hot Peppers and Pecorino Romano
From chef and author Mario Batali
Friday, March 16, 2007

Renowned chef and restaurateur Mario Batali has a recipe to get us in the mood for spring on Good Morning America.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 jalapenos, seeded and cut into thin slivers

Zest and juice of 3 lemons

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 1/4 pounds basic pasta dough, cut into fettuccine

1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano

Directions

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add 2 tablespoons salt.

Meanwhile, in a 10-to 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and the red pepper flakes and sauté until softened and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the jalapenos and sauté for 1 minute. Add the lemon zest and juice, bring to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Drop the fresh pasta into the boiling water and cook under tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain.

Toss the hot pasta into the pan with the lemon mixture, return to medium heat, and mix well, stirring gently. Add the pecorino and toss quickly. Transfer to a warmed serving platter, and serve immediately.
