Capellini with a Parsley Cream Sauce Recipe

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Cappellini are fine-stranded pasta, and do an excellent job of bonding with creamy sauces, in this case one with parsley. To serve 4:

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 14 ounces (340 g) capellini
  • An onion, minced
  • A bunch of parsley, with the prettiest sprigs set aside and the remainder minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Salt & white pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmigiano

Preparation:

Set pasta water to heat, salt it when it reaches a boil, and cook the pasta.

Wilt the onion in a pan with a little water and the wine, then blend the mixture with the cream and check seasoning. Heat the cream and add the minced parsley, timing things so you reach this step when the pasta is ready to be drained. Drain the pasta, stir the sauce into it, garnish with the reserved parsley sprigs, and serve with grated Parmigiano on the side.

Yield: 4 servings Capellini with Parsley Cream Sauce.
