Tagliatelle with Shrimp and Curry Sauce

Tagliatelle with Shrimp and Curry Sauce
Serves 6
level of difficulty: Moderate
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 15 minutes
Notes: Inspired by a trip to Venice, this creamy curry sauce is an unexpected match with the short broad tagliatelle noodles. A delightful twist on a seafood pasta sauce.

Ingredients:

180ml ( ¾ cup) chicken stock
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, chopped
4 shallots, chopped (about ½ cup)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
125ml (½ cup) dry white wine
125ml (½ cup) whipping cream
1 tablespoon curry powder
375g Tagliatelle pasta (preferably short ones)

Instructions:
Mix 125ml (½ cup) stock and cornstarch in small bowl to blend.

Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, shallots, and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add wine and simmer until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 310ml (1 ¼ cups) stock and bring to boil. Stir cornstarch mixture to blend; mix into sauce. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Add cream and curry powder; simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, bring 3 Litres (12 cups) well salted water to boil in heavy large pot. Add pasta; cook until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Divide cooked pasta equally among plates. Ladle sauce over and serve immediately.
