Try this yummy fettuccine pasta with duck and creamy spinach sauce. Fettuccine pasta dishes are not that complicated and pretty easy to make. Typically this dish would involve chicken breast, but lets try something different and unique – duck! By adding some duck breast, fresh cream and some homemade tagliatelle, you can make a very filling and very delicious dinner for two! Left overs make a great lunch for tomorrow – if there happens to be any!
Ingredients
200 grams Duck (or Chicken) breast
1 large Onion
200 grams Spinach
2 cloves of Garlic
Salt and pepper – to taste
20 grams of Butter
300 ml of Cream 15%-20%
150 grams of Pasta
Parmesan (optional)
Directions
Duck breast should be washed and cut into small pieces.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Put the butter in a frying pan and melt, fry the onion until half cooked.
Chop the garlic very finely and add to the onion. Also fry duck breast with onion and garlic. ( Optionally, you can replace the duck with chicken or bacon).
Add the spinach to the roasted duck and sauté for a few minutes.
Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil, lightly salt. In boiling water, put the paste in and cook it until al dente (7-9 minutes). (I use homemade tagliatelle)
When the spinach is fried add cream, add salt and pepper to your taste. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes.
When the pasta is ready drain and put it in the sauce and stir. Turn off the heat and leave the pasta under the lid for 2 minutes.
Put the pasta on a serving plate and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.
Bon appetit!
