The flavour of herbs and creamy cheese are celebrated in this delicious pasta recipe, Herb Speckled Pappardelle with Butter and White Cheese Sauce. We think this is our most artistic pasta display. To create exquisite leafy pasta pictures, hand-cut egg pappardelle ribbons were laminated with seasonal fresh herbs. This is actual work of art on a plate.
An additional depth of flavour is added by the herb-flecked pasta, and a rich and decadent sauce is produced by combining Parmesan and white cheddar. Enjoy each taste of creamy, herb-infused food!
Ingredients-
- 250g herb-speckled pappardelle pasta
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions-
- Prepare the pappardelle pasta: Cook the herb-speckled pappardelle pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for the recommended amount of time, or until al dente. Drain, then set apart.
- Prepare the White Cheese Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Cheeses: Reduce the heat to low. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded white cheddar cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously. Continue to cook until the cheeses have melted and combined into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Season and Add Herbs: Stir in the dried thyme and finely chopped fresh parsley into the cheese sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste.
- Toss with Pappardelle: Add the cooked herb-speckled pappardelle pasta to the skillet with the cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the luscious sauce.
- Serve and Garnish: Divide the Herb Speckled Pappardelle with Butter and White Cheese Sauce among serving plates. Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a burst of colour and herbaceous freshness.
