After the holidays it is time to eat at home and in a healthy way. Today our recipe speaks of a very helpful and grateful ingredient: pasta. If we know how to combine good pasta with good ingredients, we can achieve truly luxurious dishes.
Today I have decided on noodles, a type of elongated pasta, small in width and flattened in shape that make up the set of dry pasta of Italian origin. Although those are known throughout Europe and other places directly from Italy, there is controversy about their origin since noodles similar to noodles have been prepared in China for more than a millennium before Italy. The difference lies in the flour, the Chinese are made from rice or soy while the Italian noodles are made from wheat.
To cook this pasta I have used a saucepan, but when it comes to sautéing them I have done it with my new Saute from “Le Creuset” . We now move on to the preparation.
Ingredients (for 2 people):
200 grams of noodles
4 large chanterelles
2 garlic cloves
rosemary to taste
Parmesan to taste
Oil, pepper and salt
Preparation:
Put the pasta in boiling salted water. We look at the cooking recommendations in terms of time. It depends on each person whether they prefer the pasta more "al dente" or not.
Meanwhile, slice the garlic cloves and cut the chanterelles into small cubes. In our Saute we add 3 tablespoons of oil and if you want you can add a little butter (size of a walnut). When the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and brown, being careful not to burn it, add the chanterelles and brown for about 10 minutes.
When the pasta is ready, add it to the pan and fry it, stir it with a wooden paddle so as not to scratch it. Add the rosemary to release the essence, if you don't like it you can do without it. Season with salt and pepper and continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, no more.
A piece of advice: when I add the noodles, I add two or more spoons of the same cooking water; this way the noodles don't stick.
Ready to serve. We can add grated Parmesan if you like.
An easy and simple recipe to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
