Recipe story

Fettuccine — one of the best pasta dishes from Italian cuisine. If cooking cream isn’t available, you can make it with milk. Very light.

Ingredients

  • Fettuccine pasta, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter + 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for cooking)
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • A pinch of oregano
  • Broccoli
  • Carrot
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or mozzarella
  • This delicious recipe is by:
  • rana sbite baze
  • Turkish Meat Pie — another delicious recipe from Rana. Try it!

Method

  1. Cook the fettuccine and set it aside to drain
  2. Put the butter and oil in a pot over medium heat, add the finely chopped onion and one crushed clove of garlic, and sauté until the garlic and onion are colored
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for one minute, then add the vegetables and stir well so they cook while keeping their texture
  4. Sprinkle a little black pepper, add the mustard and stir, then add the flour immediately and stir
  5. Slowly add the milk while stirring in a circular motion so the flour does not lump
  6. Let them boil for only 5 minutes, then add the cheese
    Timers: 5 min
  7. When the cheese melts, add the cooked fettuccine, a sprinkle of oregano, and stir
  8. Let the fettuccine simmer for just 2 more minutes and serve it hot; scallops can be served alongside
  9. This is Rana's way of preparing chicken escalope
