Serves 8 as a first course
Most packs of pasta suggest to serve a quarter pound of pasta per person. This is entirely too much to consume in one sitting. Italians rarely eat large portions of pasta as their main meal, but as a course that makes up the meal. My suggestion is to follow this dish with a nice refreshing garden salad and a glass of wine.
Ingredients:
1 lb. dried linguine, cooked according to manufacturer's directions
2 Tbs butter
3 shallots finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized)
1 lb. cock meat reserved from making stock, chopped
Juice of one lemon
Salt and ground white pepper to taste
In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until translucent. Be careful not to brown. Next add heavy cream. Bring mixture to a boil. Allow sauce to thicken slightly. Add cock meat and lemon juice. Continue to warm through and adjust seasonings. Thicken sauce a bit more if necessary. You want the final sauce to coat the pasta, but still remain relatively loose. Add freshly drained (not rinsed) linguine to the sauce. Stir to blend. Use a little of the linguine’s cooking water to thin the sauce, if it seems too thick. Serve hot.
