Description
I created this recipe for our anniversary.
It's sinfully rich and creamy, fennel overtones, nutty undertones, Pasta-ey midtones. ;-p
Ingredients
- 1 c fresh pine nuts
- 3 clv roja garlic
- 2 c fresh basil, chopped
- 1⁄2 c fresh fennel, finely chopped
- 1 T finely chooped dill frond
- 1⁄4 c grated parmesan/romano
- 1 c sour cream
- 1⁄2 c heavy cream
- 1 T sea salt
- 1 pn salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
TOAST PINE NUTS IN ABOUT A TABLESPOON OF EVOO UNTIL NICE EVEN TAN. SET ASIDE.
OVER MEDIUM HEAT, SAUTE GARLIC, BASIL, FENNEL, AND DILL IN A TABLESPOON OF EVOO. TO THIS, ADD HEAVY CREAM AND SALT, TURNING TO MEDIUM LOW. SLOWLY WORK IN THE PARMESAN AND SOUR CREAM, STIRRING CONSTANTLY. ADD PINE NUTS. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADD SOME MILK TO THIN. ONCE CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM ARE BLENDED WELL, REMOVE FROM HEAT AND ADD TO BUCATINI. GARNISH WITH FENNEL FRONDS.
You could also add chicken or shellfish to this dish to boost the protein.
Interesting...
I'll try this. You're not another vegetarian at home dad are you?
Vegetarian thingy
Nope, I'm a protein fiend. I was born with incisors,might as well use 'em.
Hey Chef Kev!
You gonna let this guy muscle in on you like this?
To "Chef" Kev:
I say bring it.
I'm a little worried...
...about the Kyles "Special Cream Sauce"... Is that anything like the cream of sum yun gai at Chinese places?

Great recipe
Before you say bring it....I will not do a Bobby Flay throw down. I feel that any recipe done hear on the site will only help to add to the cook book that we are thinking about......with that said.
Just food for thought.....Sub the sour cream with mascapone cheese and that is even more creamy and rich and will add more to the nutty undertones..
BTW....EVOO is already so yesterday.....Smart balance is better for you and is 50% the price....

Cream of sum yun gai
Not even close. First, it's a LOT thicker. Tastier. Goes better with noodle. Like Bucatini. Long hollow noodles filled with sauce. Mmmmm...
Oooo
Chef fight!
Bang the gong, let's get it on!

RE: EVOO
Old school Italian, man. Not gonna drop my EVOO for some new kid on the block that tastes funny and will probably make me poop bricks.
That aside, MASCARPONE cheese is a great suggestion if the recipe isn't fat enough for you already. (I guess it depends on your mascarpone.) I'm trying to lose weight. If the rest of you skinny bastards want to thicken things up, go for it. ;-p
FYI
No bricks....
Use this oil in place of single oils, including canola and olive, for cooking and salads; its natural blend of canola, soy and olive oils provides 1230 mg of Omega-3s per serving. This precise blend of polyunsaturates and monounsaturates helps to balance the saturated fats you consume in meat, fish and dairy foods.
It was more of a suggestion..

It's great to have you here Briesman. Don't let my petty attempt at creating drama distract you from discovering that Chef Kev is one of the "good guys."
