Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Pasta (fettuccine or tagliatelle)
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ras El Hanout (North African spice blend)
- 1 tbsp Harissa paste
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the Ras El Hanout and harissa paste, letting the spices bloom for about 30 seconds to release their aromatic flavors.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the butter and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce is combined.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring constantly until it melts and forms a creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to adjust the texture.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to combine.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan on top for extra richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fusion-inspired dish with its creamy, spicy, and tangy North African twist!
