Pork Green Chile Pasta 

Green chile is particularly popular in Colorado and in the southwestern United States. HATCH green chiles are THE BEST!

 

1 lb. ground pork
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1-2 Tbs. flour
1 14 oz can tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water (optional)
1 ½ cups diced green chiles (about 10 chiles, roasted)
1 large yellow onion, diced
sea salt & pepper, to taste
14 oz. spaghetti, cooked al dente in salted water and drained
1/4 – 1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
fresh cilantro, finely minced

 

 

Brown the pork in a skillet with garlic and pepper. 

 

Add the flour, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until flour is browned. 

 

Transfer to a large Dutch oven and add tomatoes, broth, green chiles, and onion. 

 

Simmer over low for at least 2 hours. Use the water to thin the sauce or extra flour to reach the desired consistency.

 

To serve, sauce the Pork Green Chile (best made at least one day ahead of time and reheated) over the pasta and then top with the cheese and cilantro. 

 

Season with additional black pepper for an extra bang!
