I just made me some nice pasta something or other |
|
I had some mussels (oh, man, I love mussels...) so I minced up a shallot and four cloves of garlic, sauteed it in butter and olive oil, added the mussels, added some shrimp, and sprinkled in a BIG pinch of saffron threads, some thyme and basil, and a cup or so of Riesling. In another pan, I sauteed some snow peas, asparagus, julienned red pepper, and cubed zucchini so they were nice and crisp. For pasta, I had some kind of national brand tortellini with proscuitto and cheese.
When the mussels were done, I tossed in the pasta for a bit, then took everything out but the liquid and reduced it down. When reduced, I put the pasta on a plate, put the mussels and shrimp on, and put the veggies off to the side a little bit and poured the reduction over the pasta, the ground pepper over it all.
WOO HOO!!
Tasty. Served with a room temperature bottle of sparkling lime water.

I'm also happy to hear that you are not one of those cretins that has to smother all pasta dishes with parmesan cheese. GAWD I hate that stuff! Seriously, that sounds great. Another recipe for me to try. I've gotten so many ideas from bi-centennial baby that I'll probably put on 100 lbs or so over the next month.
You should post your recipe in the food forum!
