Fusion duck and penne pasta

Fusion duck and penne pasta

Rather than go and buy noodles, I thought my duck and laksa-paste flavoured soup would work just as well with penne pasta.

Ingredients

• Sous vide duck breast
• Penne pasta
• Spring onions
• Laksa paste

Instructions

Penne pasta

1. To maximise the resistant starch content, I cooked the pasta at lunchtime. I drained it and put it into the refrigerator until I needed it. 
2. I cooked the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.

Duck breast

1. I cooked this yesterday, and you can find the recipe and full story on the blog.
2. I took the refrigerated duck breast out of its vacuum bag, dried the duck with absorbent kitchen paper, and then sliced the cold duck meat thinly.

Meal preparation

1. I cut up some spring onions cutting the white parts at an angle for that fancy look and cutting the green parts to form fine rings.
2. I boiled some water and added a tablespoon of laksa paste, and stirred it through.
3. I then added in the cold penne pasta and allowed the pasta to warm through.
4. I turned off the heat and mixed through the spring onion and sliced duck meat.

How to eat this

1. Eat this meal from a bowl with chopsticks and a spoon.
