Note: J’ajoute parfois des morceaux de saumon fumé.

4 portions

Ingrédients

  • 1 lb de petites asperges
  • 3 c. à soupe de beurre
  • 3/4 tasse de crème à 35 %
  • 1/2 tasse de bouillon de poulet

Préparation

  3. Faire cuire les asperges dans une grande casserole d’eau bouillante salée de 2 à 3 minutes ou jusqu’à ce qu’elles soient légèrement croquantes. Retirer les asperges et les refroidir sous l’eau froide puis les déposer sur un linge de cuisine ou sur du papier essuie-tout. Réserver l’eau de cuisson pour les pâtes.
  4. Porter l’eau à ébullition et faire cuire les fettucine jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient cuits al dente. Pendant ce temps, préparer la sauce. Dans une grande poêle, faire chauffer le beurre à feu moyen jusqu’à ce qu’il soit moussant mais sans coloration, le beurre ne doit pas brunir. Baisser à feu doux, ajouter les asperges, la crème, le bouillon et le zeste de citron. Assaisonner (poivrer généreusement) et mijoter tout doucement en mélangeant pendant quelques minutes ou jusqu’à ce que la sauce soit légèrement crémeuse.
  5. Égoutter les pâtes et réserver environ 125 ml (1/2 tasse) d’eau de cuisson. Mélanger les pâtes, la sauce et le parmesan. Si les pâtes semblent sèches, ajouter de l’eau de cuisson, environ 60 ml (1/4 tasse) à la fois. Servir aussitôt dans une assiette de service préalablement réchauffée. Saupoudrer de parmesan et si désiré parsemer de zeste de citron râpé finement.

Source: nickstellino.com: Pasta with Clams

Notes: Je remplace  les palourdes par des crevettes non cuites que je décortique et fais sauter à la poêle avant de les ajouter à la sauce à la toute fin.

Je fais revenir les carapaces des crevettes dans de l’huile d’olive puis j’ajoute de l’eau et je laisse mijoter 10 à 15 minutes pour faire le bouillon de crevettes qui remplace le jus de palourde.

Ingredients

  • 3 quarts water (salt optional)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 pounds live clams, preferably Manila or Little Neck, well scrubbed, in their shells (ou 1 lb de crevettes non cuites)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup clam juice (bouillon de crevettes)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 pound pasta -linguine, spaghetti or spaghettini

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil with or without the optional salt.
  2. Pour the oil into a large saute pan set on medium heat, and cook the garlic until it starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the clams, red pepper flakes and salt and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the clam juice, parsley (bouillon de crevettes) and tomatos sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until all the clams have opened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Take the clams out of the sauce, place in a bowl and let them sit for a few minutes. Discard those that still haven’t opened. Take half of the clams out of their shells and mince them. Add all the  clams (crevettes) to the simmering sauce about 3 minutes before the pasta is done. Mix well and cover.
  4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until just tender. Drain well and return to the pot, Add the sauce, toss to coat well and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes. Most of the sauce should be absorbed.

Manicotti au veau

Source: foodnetwork.com: Multo Mario: Cannelloni al Forno (Baked Pasta Tubes, Casalinga Style)

Notes: Je fais la farce avec 500g de veau seulement plutôt que le mélange porc et veau.  Je commence par faire revenir un oignon haché dans de l’huile d’olive au lieu du beurre.  J’ajoute 2 poignées de bébés épinards hachés grossièrement pour les faire tomber dans la préparation après que la sauce aie épaissie.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter (huile d’olive)
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 pound (1 pound) ground veal
  • 1/2 (3/4)  cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated, plus more for garnishing pasta
  • 1 (1 1/2) tablespoon flour
  • 1 (1 1/2) cup milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 recipe basic pasta dough, recipe follows
  • 1 cup basic tomato sauce, recipe follows (ou autre sauce tomate  maison)
  • 1 cup besciamella, recipe follows

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter (huile d’olive) over high heat until it foams and subsides. Add the ground pork and veal and cook over high heat until it begins to brown in its own fat. Drain the excess fat and add the Parmigiano, the flour and the milk and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir in the egg. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Roll the pasta out to the thinnest setting on a pasta rolling machine and cut it into rectangles measuring 4 inches by 6 inches. Divide the meat filling evenly among the rectangles and roll the pasta around the filling, jelly-roll style making 14 to 16 canneloni. Blanch until tender in boiling water. Remove and put in an ice water bath. Faire cuire une boîte de manicotti (14) et les farcir.
  4. In an 8 or 9-inch square, oven-proof casserole, spoon half the tomato sauce across the bottom in an even layer. Carefully lay each pasta package in the casserole so that they are in a single layer. Top with the remaining tomato sauce, then the bechamel. Finish with the freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and bake in the oven 20 to 25 minutes, until the sauces and cheese are bubbling and the edges of the pasta are crispy and browned. Serve immediately from the cooking dish.

Basic Pasta Dough:

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Mound 3 1/2 cups of the flour in the center of a large wooden cutting board. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs and the olive oil. Using a fork, beat together the eggs and oil and begin to incorporate the flour, starting with the inner rim of the well.
  2. As you expand the well, keep pushing the flour up from the base of the mound to retain the well shape. The dough will come together when half of the flour is incorporated.
  3. Start kneading the dough with both hands, using the palms of your hands. Once you have a cohesive mass, remove the dough from the board and scrape up and discard any leftover bits. Lightly reflour the board and continue kneading for 6 more minutes. The dough should be elastic and a little sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Roll or shape as desired.

Beciamela (Bechamel Sauce):

Ingrédients

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups milk 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add flour and stir until smooth. Over medium heat, cook until light golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat milk in separate pan until just about to boil. Add milk to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth and bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes and remove from heat. Season with salt and nutmeg and set aside.
  3. Yield: 3 cups
