Fettuccine with Grilled Apple and Goat Cheese

 

Recipe By :Fred Edrissi

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium apple (choose a crunchy sort)

1 1/2 quarts water

1 tablespoon lemon

1 bay leaf

2 cloves

7 ounces fettuccine

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

2 small shallots -- finely chopped

1 3/4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes

1 tablespoon fresh thyme -- finely chopped

1/4 cup apple cider

salt and pepper

nutmeg

7 tablespoons goat cheese -- cut in chunks

2 small thyme sprigs -- for garnish

 

1. Peel the apple, cut it into broad slices 1/4-inch (4 mm) thick and remove the

seeds. Marinate the apple in the water, lemon, bay leaf and cloves for 1/2 hour.

 

2. Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water; set aside.

 

3. Take the apple slices out of the marinade, drain them and brush them with

oil. Heat the apples in a saucepan, turning once so that the slices are golden

brown on each side. An even better method is to grill them, if possible.

Transfer them to a clean plate and set aside.

 

4. In the same pan in which you sauteed the apples, melt the butter and saute

the shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme and the apple, and then add the apple

cider. Season with pepper, salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Finally, add the noodles,

and mix thoroughly. Serve on warm plates, top with a few chunks of goat cheese

and decorate each serving with the thyme branches.

 

VARIATION: Reduce both the oil and butter to one-third the suggested amount.

Reduce the cheese from 7 to 2 tablespoons: 688 Calories; 22g Fat (27.7% calories

NOTES : I discovered the remarkable flavor combination of apples and goat's milk

cheese when I was a boy. My family had a huge fruit orchard as well as a pasture

for some goats. One morning I was coming in from the garden with a container of

fresh goat's milk and I pulled an apple off the tree, which I ate and washed

down with some goat's milk. I will never forget that taste! This dish brings

these flavors together for anyone who has never had goats or an orchard in the

back yard. -Fred Edrissi
