Corn Fritters

Fettuccine

  • 1 pound fettuccine
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces goats cheese
  • 2-3 cups whole goats milk may also sub whole milk or cream in a pinch

  • pinch of nutmeg
  • pinch of crushed red pepper

Instructions

  • To make the corn fritters, add the flour, baking powder, chili powder, salt, pepper and milk to a bowl. Stir until combined. Fold in the corn and jalapeno. It should be the consistency of a very thick pancake batter, if needed add a tablespoon more of milk. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Add oil to a large saucepan and heat over medium high heat. When the oil is hot add about 1-2 teaspoons of batter to the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel, then repeat with remaining batter. Keep the fritters warm in the oven until the pasta is ready.
  • To make the fettuccine, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and prepare according to directions. Drain and set aside. Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat, add the butter, goat's milk, cream cheese and goat's cheese. Bring to a boil and simmer until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add the manchego cheese, basil, crushed red pepper, pepper, salt and nutmeg, whisking until the cheese has melted. Simmer the sauce 3-5 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss well, cook another 1-2 minutes to warm through. Remove from the heat. The sauce with thicken and coat the pasta a bit easier as it cools. Serve warm with corn fritters, slices of nectarines, tomatoes, basil and more cheese! Dig in!
