Spaghetti with Zucchini cream and ragout of Yellowtail: a first light but tasty dish, inspired as always Sicilian cuisine, with chunks of fresh yellowtail. The pasta is topped with a vegetable cream almost invisible which helps to 'save’ oil, because it binds the sauce perfectly creating a soft and creamy emulsion. I couldn't give up to buy some’ Amberjack fresh fish that I found and I really felt like a nice plate of pasta. If you prefer to create a second fish with your amberjack, have a look at all my RECIPES WITH RICCIOLA.
I recommend, eye on cooking fish, which must remain soft and juicy: amberjack is an outstanding seafood, but it tends to get a bit’ dry if cooked too long. If you want to replace it, you can use tuna, swordfish and even the salmon.
As for the zucchini, you can use the ones you prefer: light green zucchini Sicilian, source tonde o source romanesche. I do not recommend to use the dark green zucchini, which often have a bitter aftertaste taste is not very pleasant. If you want to replace the spaghetti, I suggest linguine as long pasta or, if you prefer a short pasta, fusilli, who take the sauce.
How herbs and spices, I used the lemon thyme and black pepper, but also the basil and mint are a great time. Obviously you care to choose the herbs you find in season. This recipe is refined and tasty, Also perfect for a posh seafood dinner. And it's also light enough to power almost be considered dietetic. The spaghetti with zucchini and cream sauce Amberjack is a dish easy to prepare, and I promise you that will give you satisfaction. Have a good day!
