Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup minced chive blossoms, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound capellini (angel hair) pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 jar (4 ounces) whitefish caviar
1 hard-cooked egg, yolk and white separated

Steps:

  • Stir together 3/4 cup creme fraiche, the chive blossoms, chives, and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with butter and creme fraiche mixture, adding enough pasta water to make a light sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a small dollop of remaining creme fraiche in each of 4 to 6 dishes, and sprinkle with chive blossoms and chives. Divide pasta among dishes. Top with caviar and more creme fraiche. Press egg white and yolk through a sieve, then sprinkle over pasta. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter sauce next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and lemon next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I may have overcooked the crème fraîche.
