Servings
4
Ingredients
- 4 servings fresh tagliatelle
- 2 cup heavy cream
- zest of 1 lemon
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 ounce cognac (optional)
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves
- salt
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 cup roughly grated fresh parmigiano reggiano
Directions
- Fill a large stockpot with 3 quarts water, and bring to a boil.
- While waiting for the water to boil, pour the cream into a skillet with the lemon and orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the cream lightly coats the sides of pan, 2 to 4 minutes after it comes to a boil.
- Add the cognac (if using) and the mint leaves, and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the kosher salt, and cook the tagliatelle until al dente. Lightly drain, and then transfer to the cream mixture, and cook for 1 minute, moving everything around with tongs to combine the ingredients. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, stir well, and serve.
