Ingredients
- 400 g Pasta (fettuccine or tagliatelle)
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ras El Hanout (North African spice blend)
- 1 tbsp Harissa paste
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Stir in the Ras El Hanout and harissa paste, letting the spices bloom for about 30 seconds to release their aromatic flavors.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the butter and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce is combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring constantly until it melts and forms a creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to adjust the texture.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to combine.
Step 7
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan on top for extra richness.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your fusion-inspired dish with its creamy, spicy, and tangy North African twist!
