Ingredients

1 pint heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons honey
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 recipe Fresh Pasta, cut into fettuccini, recipe follows
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 small block semisweet chocolate, optional
1/4 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

In a large, heavy skillet heat the cream, zests, honey, and salt over medium heat, being careful not to boil the cream. Stir occasionally for about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pasta. Add the pasta and the lemon juice to the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss to combine.

Place the pasta in serving dishes. Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate directly on top pasta. Sprinkle with hazelnuts. Serve immediately.

Fresh Pasta:

3 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Place the flour in a food processor. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the salt and olive oil to the eggs and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture to the food processor. Pulse to combine the ingredients, scraping down the sides once or twice. Continue, with the machine running, until the liquid is evenly distributed, about 1 minute. The dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers. The dough will be cornmeal-yellow in color. Some of the dough will be sticking together, but it will not form a single ball.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into a ball and knead gently until the dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to your desired shape.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings (about 22 ounces)

Fetuccini with "i" is the correct spelling
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

To our friend above that complains about the spelling of fetuccini, I suggest you do oyur homework before you comment,... fetuccini is correct, the i at the end means plural!Read more

Fettucini
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Natalie, Don't give up on making pasta. Sometimes you need to add a little more liquid for the dough to come together. Not... all eggs have the same amount of liquid. Add a little at a time. if you add to much and the dough becomes sticky, nead by hand in a little more flour until it is silky smooth. Make sure to let it rest after that at least 10 minutes.Read more

Very sweet!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't make the pasta from scratch, but it was still very good. I made this for a friend's birthday because she wanted... chocolate for dinner, not just dessert. It was really sweet with the citrus and chocolate, but if you are prepared for that it was really good.Read more

This sauce is sooo good! I think I will try it with a smaller pasta next time. The pasta seemed to overtake the sauce a... little bit. Still a wonderful recipe! As for the comment a few below this one, the Fettuccini I have in my kitchen is spelled with an I. You are incredibly rude. Even if it were a typo, she probably has more smarts and creativity than your little brain will ever muster, so bite your tongue.Read more

RATING ONLY THE FRESH PASTA RECIPE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Having made fresh basil pesto this morning only to find out that the local pasta store is closed on Sundays...I set out to... find a quick way of making my own fresh pasta. This recipe was definitely the easiest I've found yet and I went one step further and let my KitchenAid Stand Mixer do the kneading with the dough hook. It took less than 10 minutes to make two batches of freshly kneaded dough. As to the reviewer questioning the spelling of pasta....get a life!Read more
