Toowoomba Pasta

hello@fritzpasta.com.au (Bernhard Kohlhuber) — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 07:49:07 GMT

From Toowoomba to the World & Back to Us!
Here’s How It’s Done:

Ingredients:

600g fresh Fritz fettucine
10 button mushrooms, sliced
3 spring onions, finely sliced (whites and greens kept separate, optional)
50g (3.5 tbsp) butter
3 tbsp olive oil
12 prawn cutlets, peeled and deveined
½ tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
1 tbsp ketchup (for a touch of US flavor)
50ml (3 tbsp) Soju (or substitute with dry white wine)
550g Fritz Formaggio sauce (Garlic & Cheese cream sauce)
Salt or Soy sauce to taste
Parmesan cheese, for finishing

Instructions:

Prepare the Fettucine:

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fresh Fritz fettucine and cook according to package instructions (about 3 minutes).
Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

Sauté Mushrooms & Spring Onion Whites:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and tender. Season with a pinch of salt.
Add the spring onion whites and sauté for another minute until softened. Set this mushroom mixture aside.

Cook the Prawns:

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 25g of butter.
Add the prawn cutlets and season with salt and Gochujang. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the ketchup and pour in the Soju (or wine). Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Add the Formaggio Sauce:

Pour the Fritz Formaggio sauce into the pan with the prawns. Let it warm up, stirring gently to combine with the prawn juices.

Combine with Pasta:

Add the cooked fettucine to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Serve:

Divide the fettucine among 4 plates.
Sprinkle with the spring onion greens and finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

HOW TO: COOK FRESH PASTA

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 12:04:35 GMT

Mastering the art of cooking fresh pasta is just a touch more attentive than its dry counterpart.

Follow these steps to perfection with a 500g pack:

Boil 4-5 litres of water in a large pot and sprinkle in 30g of salt.
Gently loosen the pasta before adding it to the boiling water.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After reaching your desired texture (refer to cooking times below), drain the pasta and give it a drizzle of olive oil for a delectable finish.

Pro Tip: The pasta water is a fantastic base for soups and stews – a naturally flavorful, starchy stock. Remember, our veggie pasta boasts 40% veggie goodness.

For the final flourish: When indulging in our Fritz sauces, warm them in a spacious saucepan before tossing in the pasta. For your unique creations, introduce proteins, seafood, or grilled veggies according to your palate.

Saucing note: A 500g sauce batch perfectly envelops 500g pasta. To stretch the sauce, a splash of reserved pasta water works wonders.

Serve up the masterpiece, crowned with a sprinkle of Parmigiano or Pecorino.

While we recommend the following cooking times, remember personal preferences play a role:

Curly Pappardelle : 7-8 minutes
Spaghetti : 3-4 minutes
Fettucine: 4-5 minutes
Fusilli : 3-4 minutes
Macaroni : 3-4 minutes
GF Fettucini Pasta dry : 15-17 minutes

Remember: Should you not use the entire batch, cook what you need and freeze the rest. When the craving strikes, toss the frozen portion into boiling salted water and cook as advised.

1 cup Fresh Spinach
½ cup Garden Peas

Begin by preparing the pasta as described in our earlier instructions and thawing your sauce.

In a generous pan, sizzle up your diced chicken and bacon with a drizzle of olive oil.

Introduce a splash of pasta water and the creamy sauce, allowing them to meld into a gentle simmer.

Now, infuse the ensemble with the vibrance of spinach and the sweetness of frozen garden peas. Toss this with your perfectly cooked pasta.

For the crowning touch, grace the dish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano. A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, if desired, adds a final flourish of flavour.
