Pasta Shells with Smoked Trout in Cream Sauce


Thursday August 21

The local market Lakeland Meats looks like a small shed in a large field, but once you get inside you find it's lined with freezers full of local beef, lamb, chicken, venison, elk, ostrich, partridge, pheasant, quail, wild boar, and pretty much any other type of game you could mention. We bought a nice little smoked trout, which had a very Canadian overtone of maple syrup in its smoky flavor.

We used one fillet of it to prepare a pasta in much the same way we do pasta al salmone. No lemon vodka to hand, of course, and we did use shells instead of our usual penne, but it did go well with a Hillebrand Gewurztraminer 2007.
