Tagliarini With Shrimp And Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Whisk the heavy cream and sour cream in a large skillet and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat, whisking, until the mixture thickens and all the sour cream melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a few grates of lemon zest and some of the lemon juice. Taste for seasoning. At this point the sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta to the pot and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn?t clump or stick to the bottom, about 2 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream sauce. Shut off the heat and allow the pasta to rest in the sauce for 2 minutes, tossing to coat from time to time. If the sauce is too thin, simmer over low heat for 2 additional minutes. If it is too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta water. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
• Spoon a small amount of caviar onto 4 serving plates. Use a fork to twirl the pasta and make a large forkful. Use your index finger to gently coax the pasta off the fork and on top of the caviar on the plate. Repeat with the remaining plates. Spoon any leftover sauce over the pasta. Note: The sauce thickens quickly, so keep it loose with a little pasta water, if needed, as you plate. Sprinkle with the chives and a touch more grated lemon zest.

Steps:

• 1. Saute onion, bell pepper and garlic in oil, add beef cook until beef is lightly browned. Add all ingredients except cheese. cook until noodles are done then add cheese, stir until cheese is mixed in. This can also be baked like a casserole.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a large pinch of salt. Add the tagliarini and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the minced shallot and cook over moderately low heat for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the crème fraîche, parsley and tarragon. Stir in about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and season with pepper. Add the pasta and smoked salmon ribbons and toss well. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems too dry. Remove from the heat. Add three-fourths of the caviar and toss gently. Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with the remaining caviar.

Steps:

• 1 In a skillet large enough to hold all of the pasta, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until pink and almost cooked through, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to a plate. 2 Add the vodka to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cream thickens slightly, about one minute more. Stir in the shrimp and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the green onion and lemon zest. Remove from the heat. 3 Bring at least 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. 4 Pour the pasta into the skillet with the sauce and toss well over medium heat. Add a little of the cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Divide the pasta among the plates. Top each portion with a spoonful of caviar and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
