«Fettuccine» are flat and narrow strips of durum wheat and eggs, wound into nests when raw. They owe their name to their ribbon-like shape, «fettuccia» being the Italian for ribbon.

1 | shallots, finely chopped | 40 g | |

1 tbsp | Parsley and Garlic Base | 15 mL | |
1 pinch | salt [optional] | 0.2 g | |

Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.
Parmesan is not added since the flavour of fish sauces in general does not benefit from the addition of cheese.

I tweaked the recipe slightly as I didn't have all the ingredients. I used clam juice instead of white wine; crushed garlic only (no parsley); shrimp instead of scampi; one tablespoon of tomato paste and 1 finely chopped green chilli for extra heat. The result: amazing! Such an amazing home cooked meal. Served it with the orange mint salad (SOS recipe).
This is excellent.
