Method
Gram Flour pasta:
- Cut courgettes into cylinders, brush with oil and season and place in oven at 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6 until soft
- Bring ingredients to room temperature
- Combine in a bowl and knead until forms firm dough. Adjust with water or extra flour
- Let the dough rest whilst filling is made.Flour surface and roll out dough. Place a large tbsp of filling on the dough. Wet edges of dough and place another sheet of rolled out pasta dough on top, gently press down and cut out with cutter
- Bring salted water to boil and drop in pasta, boil for 4-5 minutes or till pasta floats.Strain pasta and plate up with courgette cylinders and generously spoon on the Buerre blanc.
Pasta filling:
- Chop prosciutto and mix the ingredients all together to make a thick paste
Buerre blanc:
- Heat wine, vinegar and shallots in a saucepan until boils, then lower the heat a bit and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced down to about 2 tablespoons. This should take about 10 minutes
- Dice butter but return to fridge (1/2 inch)
- Once the wine-vinegar mixture has reduced to 2 tablespoons, reduce the heat to low and start adding the cubes of butter, one or two at a time, and whisk rapidly with a wire whisk
- As the butter melts and incorporates, add more butter and keep whisking. Continue until you only have 2-3 cubes remaining. Remove from heat while whisking in the last few cubes, and whisk for a moment or two more. The finished sauce should be thick and smooth
- Strain and serve right away.
