Hem / Mat, Dryck & Näring / Pasta creme fraiche

Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.

  • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
  • Divide the mousse among serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

    • Decadently smooth with a light, airy texture, this mousse is a chocolate lover’s dream.

    This creates a harmonious base that coats the pasta without dominating it.

    For a bolder twist, consider toasting the herbs briefly in the oil before adding the garlic. Tip: For best results, serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the baguette.

    These canapes boast a delightful contrast between the creamy, tangy creme fraiche and the smoky, silky salmon, all atop a crisp baguette base.

    Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    Rich in flavor with a creamy texture, this tart pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or a glass of chilled white wine. In addition, I add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sautéed asparagus to balance the flavors. To master this, start by understanding your pasta type. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

    Creme Fraiche and Dill Potato Salad

    Elevating the humble potato salad to new heights, this Creme Fraiche and Dill Potato Salad combines creamy textures with a refreshing herbal note, perfect for summer gatherings or a refined side dish.

    Tip: Cutting the butter into small pieces helps it melt evenly.

  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Tubular pasta, such as penne or rigatoni, excels because its hollow centers and ridges capture thick sauces, ensuring every bite is coated. Tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to evenly press the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let cool.

    Stir until evenly mixed.

  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

    • Perfectly balanced, this casserole offers a creamy interior with a crispy, cheesy topping.

    Simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup is creamy and heated through.

  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer.

    • The creme fraiche not only adds a rich tanginess but also gives the soup a velvety texture that’s hard to resist. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
