Last night was the birthday meal: homemade pasta and homemade seafood alfredo. For a veggie, we had roasted asparagus and the dessert- unbelievable triple chocolate mousse.
Here are some of the recipes...
Homemade Pasta
1 whole egg, plus 2 egg yolks
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
unbleached white flour, approximately 2 cups (add enough so the dough is able to be kneaded and tacky)
pinch of salt
Mix all ingredients together and knead for approximately 10 minutes. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. We used the KitchenAid mixer with the pasta attachment (lovely wedding present!). Otherwise you could slice into thin strips. Place pasta in boiling water for approximately 8-10 minutes.
Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Heat 1 pint of heavy cream and 1 stick of butter. Once heated, add 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, maybe even some corn starch to thicken.
Seafood
We cooked some fresh salmon (pan seared with olive oil, salt and pepper). Then placed in the stove and combined with garlic marinated shrimp. Combine with homemade pasta and alfredo.
I added some dill weed to my salmon portion- it was delicious. Adam is not a fan, but I was just fine with it!
Enjoy!
