Instructions
- Clean and cut the chicken livers into pieces (make sure to remove as much of the fat as possible)
- Melt the butter in a frying pan add the onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the chicken livers, bay leaves and sage.
- Cook the liver until it starts to brown slightly on both sides (you don’t want it overcooked)
- Add the stock and lower the heat.
- Simmer for a further 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. When it starts to boil add salt and bring to the boil again.
- Remove the bay leaf from the liver and add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with the Parmesan cheese and milk .
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
- Strain the pasta in a colander and place it straight into a large bowl with enough room for mixing.
- Add the egg and cheese to the pasta and mix together well to get a creamy consistency (this has to be done quite fast, while the pasta is still hot and immediately before serving otherwise the pasta will get cold quickly!)
- Put the pasta onto the plates and cover with the liver sauce.
- Serve immediately with a little more grated parmesan and black pepper if required.
Notes
- I have added sage leaves to this recipe but the original doesn't include them. I just love sage with liver!
- You can also use other flat ribbon pasta such as pappardelle, although the traditional pasta is tagliatelle.
