Fettuccine With Champagne Sage Cream Sauce Recipe 465

Steps:

• Bring four quarts of water to a boil for the fettuccine.
• Fry the sage leaves in the olive oil in a skillet until they are crisp. Drain them on paper towels, leaving the oil in the skillet.
• Chop the sausages in chunks and sauté them in the oil until the pieces are browned, adding the garlic toward the end so that it gets golden but not burned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine until al dente.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet (preserving the garlic) and add the cream. Bring it to a boil, scrape up cooking juices and return the sausage to heat through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Drain the pasta and put it in a heated serving bowl. Pour the sauce on top. Toss and sprinkle with sage leaves. Serve with Parmesan passed separately at the table.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add about 1 Tbs. salt.
• In a large skillet, combine the butter and sage. Stir over low heat until the butter has melted.
• Add the cream and stock and bring to a boil; cook until the mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minute
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the sauce from the heat but keep it warm.
• Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine until al dente, 10 to 12 minute
• With tongs, lift the pasta from the pot, let it drain for a moment over the boiling water, and then add it to the sauce in the skillet. (Alternatively, drain the pasta in a colander and add it to the sauce.)
• Cook gently on low for a few minutes for the pasta to absorb the sauce.
• Remove the pasta from the heat and stir in the grated cheese, and season amply with pepper.
• Serve in warmed bowls topped with the shaved ricotta.

Steps:

• Drop fettuccine into boiling water with salt added. Cook to desired degree of tenderness, 4 to 5 minutes for fresh pasta and about 9 minutes for dried.
• Bring cream to simmer.
• Drain pasta immediately and return to kettle. Add pepper and butter and toss until butter is melted. Add cream and cheese and stir gently to blend.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta and season generously with kosher salt. In a large skillet, heat the EVOO over medium-low. Add the butter and when the foam begins to subside, add the shallots, garlic and sage. Stir until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the Champagne and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cream and let the sauce bubble until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add both cheeses and stir until melted. Remove pan from heat. Meanwhile, if using, grill the shrimp in grill pan or on a grill until just pink. Meanwhile, cook the pastas until al dente. Drain then add the pasta to the sauce. Toss with tongs until coated evenly. Season with pepper.
