Step 1:
How to make pasta with red fish in cream sauce? First of all, prepare all the necessary ingredients that are specified in the recipe. If you have frozen fish, then take it out of the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until it thaws completely. Which pasta is better to use? You can take any to your taste, preferably for this recipe to use tagliatelle (long thin wide pasta).
Step 2:
Boil pasta in lightly salted water according to the instructions on the package. The pasta should turn out "al dente". Put the finished tagliatelle in a colander and drain all the excess liquid.
Step 3:
At this time, release the red fish from the skin, remove the bones, if any. Cut the fillet into medium-sized cubes.
Step 4:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Send the pieces of red fish to fry over medium heat. Cooking fish for too long is not worth it, literally 2-3 minutes is enough, otherwise the fish will become dry. When frying, do not forget to mix the pieces periodically so that they do not burn. Sprinkle the fish with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon.
Step 5:
Prepare the cream sauce. In a dry frying pan, fry the flour briefly, stirring constantly. At the same time, reduce the flame to slightly below average, otherwise the flour will burn. Add the butter.
Step 6:
While stirring, melt it and stir the mass until smooth.
Step 7:
Pour in the cream and add the nutmeg and salt. Cream should have a fat content of at least 20%. Mix everything thoroughly and leave until thickened. If the sauce is too thick, then pour in a small amount of cream.
Step 8:
Add pasta and pieces of red fish to the pan with cream sauce. Mix everything carefully.
Step 9:
Sprinkle the finished dish with fresh finely chopped herbs. According to your taste, it can be dill, parsley, basil or young onions. Pepper to taste and serve until it cools down!

Offer a glass of white or red wine to the pasta with fish.

Bon appetit!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a frying pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.

How to boil pasta properly? Take a spacious saucepan, pour water at the rate of 100 grams of pasta 1 liter of water. The main thing is that the products float freely in the liquid. Add salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil. It is important to put the pasta in boiling water, otherwise they may stick together. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked or al dente (cooking time is always indicated on the package). Put the finished pasta in a colander and let the liquid drain. It is not necessary to rinse the finished pasta with water. If you do not plan to immediately mix the pasta with the sauce, then in order to avoid sticking hot pasta, you can send them from the colander back into the pan and add a teaspoon of olive oil (or a piece of butter)and mix gently.
