Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • pasta for 2 servings
  • potato, cut into large chunks
  • whole garlic cloves, generously
  • butter, generously
  • milk, as needed
  • heavy cream, as needed
  • pork belly, a little
  • shrimp, a little
  • green onion, a little
  • salt 5g
  • cooking oil, a little
  • black pepper, a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the potato into large chunks and peel the garlic cloves, keeping them whole.
  2. In a heated pan, add a generous amount of butter and sauté the prepared potato and whole garlic until golden brown.
  3. Once the garlic and potato are fully cooked, pour in the milk and heavy cream, add salt, and bring the sauce base to a simmer.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for half the recommended time on the package (about 5-6 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  5. Transfer the simmered potato and garlic cream mixture to a blender and blend until smooth and thick, with no lumps.
  6. In a new pan, drizzle a little cooking oil and stir-fry the pork belly until golden and crispy, releasing its fat.
  7. Once the pork belly is cooked, add shrimp, chopped green onion, and black pepper. Stir-fry over high heat until fragrant.
  8. To the stir-fried ingredients, add the blended potato cream sauce and the half-cooked pasta. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens and clings to the noodles, then serve.
  1. In a pan with butter, sauté large-cut potato and whole garlic until golden, then add milk, heavy cream, and salt and simmer.
  2. Blend the simmered sauce ingredients until smooth, and cook pasta for only half the recommended time.
  3. Stir-fry pork belly, shrimp, and green onion, then add the prepared sauce and pasta. Simmer together until the sauce thickens.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Sautéing the whole garlic thoroughly in butter removes its harsh raw flavor and allows its savory sweetness to meld smoothly into the cream sauce.
  • Partially cooking the pasta and finishing it in the sauce allows the noodles to absorb rich flavor, making it much more delicious.
  • If the cream sauce becomes too thick, adjust the consistency by adding small amounts of pasta water until desired creaminess is reached.
