Sicilian Style Pan Seared Fish with Couscous
Easy
I love making scialatielli, a very popular pasta in Naples that is not often made at home any more. Besides eggs and flour, the dough contains milk, grated cheese and parsley or basil. It is most often served with a seafood sauce.

I’ve made this recipe twice now and it is a phenomenal success at our family table. Not mentioned in the write-up but sort of obvious from the video is the speed with which this comes together. I’d be very surprised if it takes more than a half-hour front to back not including the drying time for the pasta.
Couple of hints: Use King Arthur Italian flour for a reasonably accurate pasta flavour.
Use the best quality Pecorino you can afford or find. Don’t feel the need to use marginal cherry tomatoes if you have great heirlooms at hand. It is the taste that matters not the size. And……plant your own herb garden! The improvement over store bought basil or parsley is not subtle. Great recipe. Thanks.

I Made this last night. Wow! what a hit, this is definately a “redo”. I made 2X the pasta for 4 adults and 2 grandbabies and all tht remained was a small cereal bowl. Noone hardly touched “il secondi”. This dough recipe is one of the best I’ve ever made, the texture and ease of handling only enhances it’s subtle complex flavor.
I did have to substitute fresh cherry tomatoes with imported canned ones that I stock in my pantry. I used 3 14oz cans and strained out the extra juice. Also my clams were already shucked and their liquor strained,so it cut out one step of prep. Buonissima! Brava!

Ciao Marianna! I am planning on making this for one of our courses on Christmas Eve. Do you think I can make the pasta in advance? And if so, how do you think I should preserve it? Hang to dry? freeze in “nests”?
Mille grazie! Lisa
