FRESH PASTA AND SEAFOOD SALAD



Fresh Pasta and Seafood Salad image

ALTHOUGH pasta has existed for years in French cuisine - 16th- century French cookbooks offer recipes for ravioli - its importance in the French diet evolved only recently. Today fresh pasta can be found at many cheese shops and charcuteries, while pasta appears on menus all over the country, in many cases replacing the potato as a side dish. In the kitchens at Tour d'Argent pasta is prepared fresh daily, while such restaurants as Rostang and Jamin include ravioli or pasta on the menu throughout the year. At Jules Verne, in the Eiffel Tower, the menu features a warm salad combining fresh fettuccine and sole in a light, creamy dressing, while at La Cantine des Gourmets goat cheese-filled ravioli floats in a rich duck stock, surrounded by slices of rosy duck and chunks of fresh artichoke hearts. This recipe comes from Colette Dejean of Chez Toutone, a small Left Bank restaurant.
