Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 handful Chervil (About 1 oz)
- 4 stalks parsley
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 2 eggs
- salt
- 9 ozs Pastry flour
- 18 ozs white Asparagus
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp butter
- 7 fluid ozs dry white wine
- 5 fluid ozs Soy creamer
- Nutmeg
- 8 large Scallop (side muscle removed, ready to cook)
- 2 Tbsps sunflower oil
Preparation steps
For the noodles, rinse the chervil and parsley, pat dry, and remove the leaves. Save a few chervil leaves for garnish. Puree chervil and parsley with olive oil and eggs. Add 1 teaspoon salt, mix in the flour and a small amount of water, and knead to form a firm dough. Wrap in plastic and chill 20 for minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the bottom third of the asparagus, cut off the ends and cut into 1 1/4 inch long pieces. Place the asparagus in a pan of water with sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and butter. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes over medium heat. Strain through a sieve, saving the resulting broth.
Combine approximately 3/4 cup of the asparagus broth and the wine in a pot. Boil to reduce by about half. Pour in the soy cream, season with salt and freshly ground nutmeg.
Roll out the dough thinly. Cut with a pastry wheel into squares approximately 4 inches in length. Cook in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, until al dente.
Meanwhile, rinse the scallops under cold water and pat dry. Heat oil in a pan and cook scallops over high heat for 2 minutes until browned on both sides. Season with salt.
Remove the noodles from water, drain and distribute in alternating layers with the asparagus pieces on 4 plates.
Mix the sauce until frothy and drizzle over the pasta. Place the scallops on top of the pasta and asparagus and garnish with chervil leaves.
