Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound medium shrimp
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh parsley
Kosher salt
Kosher salt
12 ounces fresh fettuccine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon paprika
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the shrimp stock: Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells. Put the shrimp in a bowl over ice, cover and refrigerate.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the shrimp shells and cook until light pink, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until only a few tablespoons remain in the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves, thyme, parsley and 3 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Strain the stock, pressing on the solids to extract any liquid. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the paprika and garlic and cook, stirring, until the butter is fragrant and vibrant red, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream and reduce to a simmer. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until firm and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the pasta and Parmesan and toss until well coated (see Cook's Note). Season with salt and sprinkle with parsley.

PASTA IN BROTH



Pasta in Broth image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
A few gratings of nutmeg (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine flour and salt in food processor, and pulse once or twice. Add eggs and oil, and turn machine on. Process until a ball begins to form, about 30 seconds. Add a few drops of water if dough is dry and grainy; add a little flour if dough sticks to side of bowl. You want a not-too-sticky, quite firm dough; knead by hand with a little flour if necessary to achieve that. (You can wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for up to a day at this point.)
  • When you are ready to cook, bring stock to a slow boil in a large pot. Using more flour as needed, flatten or roll dough out quickly to less than 1/4 inch, then cut it into strips or shapes with a knife; add to stock. Alternatively, pinch small pieces of dough directly into simmering stock.
  • Cook until pasta is tender but firm, 3 or 4 minutes. Season broth with nutmeg and serve, passing Parmesan at table.

Tips for Perfect Pasta in Broth:

- **Use a flavorful broth:** The broth is the foundation of your pasta dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a homemade broth if you can, or look for a high-quality store-bought broth. You can also add flavor to your broth by sautéing aromatics like onions, garlic, and carrots before adding the liquid. - **Choose the right pasta:** Not all pastas are created equal. Some pastas, like spaghetti and linguine, are better suited for broth-based dishes than others, like penne and macaroni. Look for a pasta that will hold its shape well and won't get too soggy. - **Cook the pasta al dente:** Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. Pasta that is al dente is still slightly firm to the bite and has a slight chewiness to it. Overcooked pasta is mushy and bland. - **Don't overcrowd the pot:** When cooking pasta in broth, it's important not to overcrowd the pot. Too much pasta will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will make the broth cloudy. - **Add vegetables and protein:** Vegetables and protein are great additions to pasta in broth. Some popular vegetables to add include broccoli, carrots, celery, and spinach. Some popular proteins to add include chicken, beef, and shrimp. - **Season to taste:** Once your pasta in broth is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.

Conclusion:

Pasta in broth is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed year-round. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pasta in broth that will be sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pasta in broth a try. You won't be disappointed.
