Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook 1/3 cup cilantro, garlic and jalapeno in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add stock, tequila and 3 tablespoons lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until reduced to a paste like consistency; add cream and reduce by 1/2 cup. Set aside.
  2. Prepare rapidly boiling, salted water to cook pasta; cook until al dente,8 to 10 minutes for dry pasta, approximately 3 minutes for fresh. Pasta may be cooked slightly ahead of time, rinsed and oiled and then flashed (reheated) in boiling water or cooked to coincide with the finishing of the sauce/topping.
  3. Melt remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat
  4. Add soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and chicken. Sauté until chicken is partially cooked, about two minutes
  5. Add onion and peppers, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to wilt
  6. Add tequila/lime cream and bring the sauce to a boil; boil gently until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thick (about 5 minutes). At this point, the sauce should be a deep brown, and quite aromatic
  7. Add the fettuccine noodles and coat well
  8. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro
  9. Serve family style or transfer to serving dishes, evenly distributing chicken.
