PAPPARDELLE WITH LEMON HAVARTI CREAM SAUCE — COFFEE AND CHAMPAGNE

Step 1

Over high heat, bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil. While you’re waiting for your water to boil, move onto the next step of making the sauce.

Step 2

When it's boiling, cook your pappardelle to package instructions (mine took 3 minutes).

Step 3

Drain your pappardelle in your strainer.

Step 4

Grate your block of aged havarti. Set it aside.

Step 5

In your sauce pan, over medium high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Step 6

Add your chopped garlic. Use a rubber spatula to move it around allowing it to sweat—3 minutes.

Step 7

Add heavy cream and lemon juice.

Step 8

Let simmer for roughly 5 minutes. This will cause your sauce to reduce and thicken.

Step 9

Sprinkle havarti over your sauce and use your rubber spatula to mix it until your havarti is fully incorporated.

Step 10

Add lemon zest. Mix it in.

Step 11

Transfer your strained pappardelle back into your stock pot.

Step 12

Pour your sauce over your pappardelle. Use your rubber spatula to gently fold your sauce over your pappardelle until it's fully and evenly coated.

Step 13

Transfer your pasta to a serving dish/bowl.

Step 14

Finish it off by sprinkling fresh thyme leaves and fresh rosemary over your dish.

Step 15

Eat and enjoy!
