Nouilles Alfredo

• For the Alfredo:
• 12 ounces fresh pasta noodles
• 2/3 cup butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup creme fraiche
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• Pinch of grated nutmeg
• 1/3 cup reserved pasta water, as necessary
• For the bacon-tomato shrimp:
• 8 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• Handful of basil, chiffonade

1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh pasta noodles until al dente, cooked through but still chewy. Reserve some of the pasta water.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate smaller pot melt the butter. Add the garlic and saute briefly until it is fully aromatized. Add the creme fraiche and bring to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese, pepper, lemon zest, and the nutmeg.
3. Add pasta and toss to coat, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until the sauce blankets the noodles completely. Serve immediately, with extra parmesan.
4. Cook the bacon in a large pot until crispy.
5. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is just turning pink, being careful not to overcook.
6. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they are just warmed and slightly tender.
7. Top each serving of Nouilles Alfredo with a portion of chopped tomatoes, crispy bacon, and sauteed shrimp. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
