Egg Linguini with Avocado Sauce
Total time: 30 minutes
A spring update on the 'Egg Noodles with Prosciutto', these noodles are dressed with a light, warm avocado sauce. Garnish with a few cherry tomatoes to add color.
Ingredients:
- Noodles:
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/4 tsp flour
- 4 1/2 tsp milk
- 1 tsp oil
- Sauce:
- 1 avocado
- 1/3 cup (3oz, 90ml) chicken stock
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 2 tbs Greek or plain yogurt
- Garnish, optional
- 2 - 4 cherry tomatoes
Instructions:
- Sauce:
- Cut avocado and remove pit (see techniques).
- Scoop it out of the shell and put it into a blender.
- Add chicken stock, lemon juice and purée until smooth.
- Pour it into a small saucepan and gently heat until just warm.
- Stir in yogurt, keep barely warm until needed.
- Noodles:
- Put eggs in medium bowl and whisk well.
- Add flour, a little at a time, sprinkling it across the eggs, and whisking well after each addition. Try to avoid lumps.
- Add the milk and whisk well.
- Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet or omelet pan, 7 - 8" (20cm) in diameter, over medium heat.
- Add 1/3rd of the egg mixture, tilting pan to cover well. Let cook, undisturbed for 1 - 2 minutes, until cooked through and top is dry.
- With a spatula, carefully turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds.
- Remove to a plate. Do not keep warm.
- Repeat twice more.
- When eggs are done, and cooled slightly, roll each up like a cigar and slice 1/4" (.6cm) strips.
- Divide strips in half. Arrange on plates, spoon sauce over, garnish and serve.
