Shrimp and herb tagliatelle

I bought a pasta machine few years ago, but I do not use it often :( I do not make pasta as often as rice or noodles. It is because I thought pasta dish always matches with tomato sauce or white sauce or simply olive oil, it makes me feel bored... Another thing is that I didn't spend time to discover different sauces for pasta...

However, when I saw this recipe, the sauce attracted my attention :) I have a chance to use my pasta machine!

Ingredients
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup chopped shallot
140g unsalted butter

14 medium sizes shrimp (shells removed)
3 tbsp chopped chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt

250g tagliatelle

3 tbsp pasta cooking water
Salt & pepper

Instructions
1. In a sauce pan at medium heat, boil wine, vinegar and shallot until liquid reduced to about 1 tbsp
Add 1/3 butter and whisk constantly
Add remaining butter, whisk constantly, let it completely melted

2. Reduce heat to low, add in shrimp to cook, flip to another side so that both sides cook well

In another pot, boil water to cook pasta

3. When the shrimp changes its color, add in chives, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt

4. When water boils, add in salt and then pasta, let it cook until al dente
Reserve 3 tbsp pasta cooking water and discard the rest

5. In a serving plate/ shallow bowl, place pasta, then shrimp sauce and pasta cooking water
Season with salt & pepper

Enjoy!
