Mexican-Style Fideos with Chorizo

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 12 ounces angel hair pasta, broken into 1-inch lengths
• 1/2 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed and meat crumbled
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded and minced
• 1 cup tomato puree
• 8 baby zucchini
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
• 1/2 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained if canned
• Freshly grated Cotija cheese, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced radishes, minced white onion, Mexican crema (or sour cream) and dried oregano, for serving

1. In a large saucepan, cook the butter over moderate heat until the milk solids turn brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Add the broken pasta and cook, stirring, until browned all over, about 7 minutes.
3. Transfer the pasta to a medium bowl.
4. Add the chorizo to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the fat is rendered and the meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and chipotles and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Stir in the tomato puree and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
8. Brush the zucchini with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
9. Grill over moderately high heat, turning, until very lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes total.
10. Transfer to a work surface and let cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise.
11. Add the chicken stock and black beans to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
12. Stir in the toasted pasta and simmer over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until the pasta is al dente and coated in a thick sauce, 5 to 7 minutes.
13. Ladle the noodles into shallow bowls and arrange the zucchini on top.
14. Serve right away with grated Cotija, cilantro, sliced radishes, minced white onion, crema and dried oregano.
