This is far far from the fettuccine with tuna and canned sauce I used to make my husband when we first moved in together. I kept telling myself (and everyone else) that I was a terrible cook and hated cooking. Boy have things changed in the past 7+ years. Now I love to cook and I have to say i'm not "terrible" at it anymore...Frankly I wasn't even sure if I was terrible, I just never really tried. This recipe gives basic fettuccine alfredo a kick with a zest of orange. From the Bon Appetit May issue.
Fettuccine with Prosciutto & Orange
Ingredients:
12oz Fettuccine noodles
2 tablespoons butter
2oz thinly sliced prosciutto torn into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 zested orange and the juice
1/4 cup pamesan
Salt and pepper to taste
Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water
Directions:
Boil fettuccine noodles until al dente. Drain and reserve pasta water.
Melt butter in large pan and add prosciutto. Brown for about 3 minutes.
Add pasta water, cream, orange juice and 1/2 of the zest and bring to a boil
Add pasta and stir until sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper and top with cheese.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is a grat dish, but it bears mentioning that you're only supposed to reserve a 1/4 cup of the pasta water!
Happy Cooking, Alison
