Categories     pastas, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Zest of 2 lemons
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup good-quality Russian vodka
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds fresh fettucine
6 cups beet juice (it can be the liquid from canned beets)
1/3 cup creme fraiche
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped chives
5 ounces Osetra caviar

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vodka and salt and pepper. This can be done ahead of time.
  • In a large pasta pot, mix together 6 cups of water and the beet juice, bring to a boil and cook the pasta until tender. Drain the pasta into a colander, discarding the beet juice and water, and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the pasta thoroughly before dressing.
  • To serve, toss the pasta with the vinaigrette. Using a large fork, twirl the pasta into coils and place the coiled mounds on a large serving platter. On top of each mound, place a dollop of crme frache, some chopped egg, capers, red onion, chives and lastly the caviar. Garnish with freshly ground pepper.

This dish was okay. The roasted beets were a bit too sweet for my taste and the vodka vinaigrette dressing was a bit too oily. The osetra caviar was delicious, but it didn't really go well with the other flavors in the dish.
