Men seem to love angel hair pasta, Italian for Capellini
because it is long and very thin
I have three men in my
immediate family who always request this particular pasta over any
other.
This recipe is a unique way to serve these cute little pasta nests by browning them first
in a
skillet then finishing them in chicken broth.
Spoon a filling of your choice in the center of the nests,
I prefer shrimp with a cream sauce to serve this delicious
entree.

Angel Hair Pasta Nests
another Peggy Bucholz recipe creation and
photograph for www.finedinings.com
Serves 6
6 Colavita Angel Hair pasta nest (1-1/2 ounces per person)
1 tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil
6 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream, warmed
1/4 cup
salad shrimp
or
larger
shrimp
if desired
1 teaspoon dried Thyme leaves
6 basil sprigs for garnish, optional
Put Colavita angel hair nests in a deep skillet
with olive oil over
medium heat and brown for 2-1/2 minutes each side. Drain and discard the oil;
add chicken broth and completely submerge the angel hair nests; bring the
chicken broth to a boil. Cover and cook 4 minutes. The angel hair
nests
will separate but don't worry, this is normal. To re-form them, drain
the chicken broth and divide the angel hair pasta equally among 6 teacups.
Twirl the angel hair in each cup with a long-tined
fork, slip off the tines of the fork onto individual serving plates shaping each
one into a nest.
Spoon the warmed cream around the angel hair pasta nests, add
shrimp and thyme leaves. Garnish
with fresh basil
sprigs and serve.
Wine
recommendation: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay
