Tagliatelle with Citrus Sauce
Ingredients
  • 4 servings fresh tagliatelle
  • 2 cup heavy cream
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1 ounce cognac (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves
  • salt
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup roughly grated fresh parmigiano reggiano
Directions
  1. Fill a large stockpot with 3 quarts water, and bring to a boil.
  2. While waiting for the water to boil, pour the cream into a skillet with the lemon and orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the cream lightly coats the sides of pan, 2 to 4 minutes after it comes to a boil.
  3. Add the cognac (if using) and the mint leaves, and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
  4. When the water comes to a boil, add the kosher salt, and cook the tagliatelle until al dente. Lightly drain, and then transfer to the cream mixture, and cook for 1 minute, moving everything around with tongs to combine the ingredients. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, stir well, and serve.
