Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups créme fraîche
1/3 cup Calvados or other brandy
2 bay leaves
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 pounds angel-hair pasta
1 egg yolk
20 ounces golden (whitefish) caviar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the crème fraîche, Calvados and bay leaves in a large saucepan and whisk until blended. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low and keep warm, stirring occasionally while cooking the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and all of the pasta. Cook until the pasta is just done, still firm to the teeth, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Whisk the egg yolk and the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a large serving bowl until blended. Add the hot pasta and toss gently to coat the strands. Discard the bay leaves and pour the crème fraîche mixture over the pasta. Add about 3/4 of the caviar and toss gently until mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at once on warm plates, topping each portion with a heaping spoonful of the remaining caviar.

The pasta was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a minute or two less.

This dish was a bit too salty for me. I would recommend using less caviar or rinsing it before using.

I found that the sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would suggest using less cream or adding some white wine to lighten it up.

This pasta is so rich and decadent. I would recommend serving it with a light salad to balance out the flavors.
