Yota's Parmesan tagliatelle with turkey breast and ouzo

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500g tagliatelle
• 3 liters of boiling water
• 1 tbsp salt
• 50 g butter
• 100 g Parmesan, freshly grated
• 400 g turkey breast, cut into strips
• chili flakes
• Sea salt
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• 50 ml Ouzo or Metaxa
• 4 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 100 g Parmesan, sliced

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Bring the water and salt to a simmer in a saucepan and cook the tagliatelle according to the instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving half a cup of the pasta water. In the same pan, caramelize the butter until golden brown and toss the pasta in it. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and pasta water and mix well. Remove the pan from the heat and cover. Heat olive oil in a deep pan and sear the turkey breast strips with chili flakes and sea salt on all sides. Deglaze the poultry with ouzo or Metaxa, let the alcohol evaporate for two minutes, and add the pasta and parsley. Toss everything around a few times and serve immediately. Sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese. A Greek dry white wine or a delicious ouzo goes well with this.
