Black Garlic Pasta with a Buttery White Wine Sauce

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1lb pasta

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter

  • 1 teaspoon Florida Pure Sea Salt 

  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup black garlic

  • ½ cup shallots, thinly sliced

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

PROCESS:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until it's al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta, and set it aside.

  • Mince the black garlic and slice the shallots.

  • Coat the bottom of a sauté pan with olive oil, and place it over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they are soft and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.

  • Add the black garlic to the pan and toss with the shallots. 

  • Add the wine and turn the heat to high letting it reduce by about 1/3.

  • Add the butter and reserved pasta water to the pan and mix.

  • Season generously to taste with Florida Pure Sea Salt and pepper. 

  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and very gently, toss everything together. (If the pan isn't big enough, pour everything into a large bowl to mix it.)

  • Add the parmesan cheese to pan or bowl.  Season to taste again if necessary, and serve.
