Tagliatelle verdi con polpettine gialle

It's almost spring and I want to see more colors on my table! 
The other day Sofia and I made some tagliatelle verdi (we also made some yellow one) and we had some more in the refrigerator so I decided to make some tagliatelle with the colors of the "Primavera": VERDE & GIALLO


For the Fish-balls

  • 250 gr of white fish of your choice
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Salt, Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • Garlic
  • Parmigiano cheese (grated)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder (I know this spice is not Italian but I like the bright yellow color, pungent aroma of it and, it's very healthy!)
For the sauce
  • Heavy cream
  • 1/2 glass of Prosecco
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • Butter
  • Sale&Pepe




Cut the fish into small pieces and chop it in a food processor. Put the fish in a bowl, add a clove of crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese,  the egg , sale & pepe. Then add the turmeric powder dissolved in a tablespoon of water and mix well.
Start making a lot of small fish yellow-balls!


Now make the sauce:put  the oil and butter in a pan and add two cloves of garlic (you you will eliminate the garlic later), add the fish- meatballs, sauté for 2 minutes, then pour in the Prosecco, add the cream, season with salt and pepper and  turn off the heat. 
Cook the noodles in salted water and then, once drained, add them in the pan with the sauce. 
Ecco qui! Buon Appetito!
