Pasta For Dinner

[Guest guest]

This was tonights dinner. It is definitely a Lacto & Ovo meal. Really

good. If you want full fat, use heavy cream. If you want low fat, use

the low fat or fat free half-and-half. Served with garlic bread or

breadsticks, makes a wonderful meal.

Farfalle Alfredo

 

Recipe By : RisaG/Paul Newman

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Low Fat Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 lb farfalle pasta

1 tsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups frozen green peas -- thawed

1/4 cup dry white wine

juice of 1 lemon

1 1/2 cups Land O'Lakes Fat Free Half-and-Half

2 tsp unbleached all-purpose flour

1 egg yolk

1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp black pepper -- freshly ground

Italian flat-leaf parsley -- chopped

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When boiling, add salt. Add

farfalle and cook according to package directions. When firm but tender,

drain.

 

While pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over

medium-high heat. Add the peas and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine

and lemon juice, and reduce the mixture by half. Whisk flour into

half-and-half. Pour into pan and cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes,

until it almost coats the back of a spoon. Remove pan from heat and

quickly whisk in egg. Add 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper,

and whisk rapidly to combine well.

 

Drain the farfalle, add it to the skillet, and toss quickly, until

coated.

 

Serve the farfalle immediately, garnished with the parsley and with the

remaining Parmesan cheese on the side.

 

Risa's notes: Serve with warm bread or breadsticks.

 

If you don't have fat free half-and-half and you don't care about the

fat, use full fat half-and-half or heavy cream. If you use the heavy

cream, don't use the flour. Just pour it in straight.

A.E. Hotchner, p. 144. Recipe is Fettucine Alfredo a la Newman. He uses

heavy cream and fettucine. Those are the differences in our recipes.
