Linguine with Champagne Oyster & Caviar Sauce
Linguine with Champagne Oyster & Caviar Sauce. A big thank you to Urbani Truffles for sending us this super delicious Kaluga Caviar to make the perfect pasta for New Year’s Eve. Because you can’t do NYE without champagne and caviar, you know?! So we’re combining the two in one fancy, decadent, and rich pasta dish. The only way to celebrate the new year is doing it up fancy !! Cheers guys !!
It’s the week in between Christmas and New Years…the one where you’re never sure what to do with yourself. So, obviously we’re already planning for NYE and New Years Day in terms of food and cocktails. So, the first NYE recipe we want to share with you guys is this extra fancy pasta.
I don’t know about you guys, but when I think about NYE I always think champagne…of course…but I also think oysters, caviar, crab, shrimp, lobster. All the great, fancy, decadent, shellfish appetizers because they go perfectly with Champagne.
So when Urbani sent us some extremely delicious caviar…we obviously had to bring you guys the perfect NYE dish to go with your champagne toast this year. And this one actually has champagne in it too…extra festive because why not?!
The sauce on this linguine is a creamy champagne sauce that’s super herby and decadent. Then there’s fresh oysters AND caviar. All the NYE goods in one super fancy bowl of pasta.
Are you guys ready to celebrate the new year?! And better yet is your menu ready?!
