Pappardelle Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pappardelle

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pappardelle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sambuca Cream Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Sambuca and Cream

    Carefully add sambuca to the skillet and let it cook for about 1 minute to reduce slightly. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked pappardelle and sliced almonds to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
