Snail butter pasta (snails optional) from Something from Nothing (page 232) by Alison Roman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Came together quickly and had great flavor. The tarragon was definitely needed and I did include the snails. I sprinkled with some chopped pistachios because my favorite bistro serves their escargot that way.

    There was just something missing here for me! This is a great, quick recipe but I just wanted a little more flavor to make it stand out.

    The recipe for just the "snail butter" is on page 36. It is loaded with shallots, garlic + lots of fresh parsley & chives and we used some right away on a split ciabatta bun before a run under the broiler. The rest is going into the freezer in 1 tbsp portions & I'm sure I will find lots of ways to use it...none of which include snails :)
