I discovered this recipe on the web while searching for something else. This one sounded better than what I was looking for. : ) The computer wouldn't allow me to specify the name brand of the pasta needed for this recipe...........you must use Trader Joes, as noted. Ingredients:
3 large garlic cloves, minced |
1 lemon, zest of |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup vegetable broth |
1/4 cup cream |
1/4 cup capers |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
8 ounces pappardelle pasta (traders joes lemon pappadelle pasta) |
Directions:
1. Slowly cook the garlic and lemon zest in the butter and oil, in a heavy saut pan over medium heat.
2. Stir frequently to keep the garlic from browning.
3. When the garlic is soft, add the broth and turn the heat to high.
4. Simmer until reduced by at least one half, and add the cream and capers.
5. Turn the heat back to medium and simmer until thick and syrupy. Taste and season.
6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to directions (2 quarts of salted water, 8-10 minutes).
7. Drain and toss with a dribble of olive oil.
8. Pour the cream sauce over and toss.
9. Serve immediately.
