Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 30 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Prepare and cook 1 kg cockles.

Stage 2 - 15 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Remove all the shells, place the cockles in a bowl, and reserve a small glass of their cooking juices.

Stage 3 - 8 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Cook the pasta for 3 minutes less than scheduled (it will cook again in the pan), then drain.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
In a large frying pan over high heat, pour in 4 tablespoons olive oil and when hot, add the parsley stems (set the leaves aside).

Cook for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, as the oil will take on the taste of the parsley.

Stage 5 - 1 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Pour in the spaghetti, stir for 1 minute, then remove and discard the parsley stems.

Stage 6 - 1 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Pour in 250 g liquid cream and the glass of cockle juice and mix well.

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Add the cockles and chopped parsley.

Stir again for 1 or 2 minutes, just long enough to reheat the cockles.

Stage 8
Creamy spaghetti with cockles and parsley
Serve immediately.
Remarks
You could also use other shellfish, such as mussels or clams.

For a thicker, creamier sauce, add 1/2 ladle of starch-rich spaghetti cooking water to the cockle cooking juices in step 6.
Keeping
Enjoy immediately.

The trick of this recipe is to end up with bananas caramelised on the outside, still firm on the inside, coated with a tasty syrup which is not 95% butter.

Crème brulée
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
