Creamy Trout Tagliatelle with Arugula and Citrus Zest Recipe

Creamy Trout Tagliatelle with Arugula and Citrus Zest recipe

Stashcook

This is a pasta dish with a creamy sauce and fish. It has tagliatelle noodles and trout instead of salmon. There's also arugula for a peppery taste and orange for a fresh twist. It's creamy, yummy, and has a little bit of a lemony flavor.

Ingredients

1 x (142 g) package arugula
240 ml chicken or vegetable broth
300 g tagliatelle pasta
1 small bunch fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic
1 orange
30 g grated Pecorino Romano cheese
680 g trout fillet
240 ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

1
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil for the pasta.
2
Rinse and dry the arugula and parsley. Mince the garlic. Zest the orange and then cut it in half to juice it.
3
Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the trout, skin-side down, and cook until done, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
5
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir to make a paste. Slowly pour in the broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream and continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
7
Cook the tagliatelle in the boiling water until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
8
Chop the parsley leaves and add half to the sauce along with the grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce.
9
Flake the cooked trout into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
10
Add the tagliatelle, arugula, flaked trout, orange zest, and half of the orange juice to the sauce. Toss everything together, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
11
Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of the remaining parsley, a drizzle of the remaining orange juice, and a twist of black pepper.
