Special dressing: Over the cuckoo's nest
Wasn't it a BIG movie? I read the book and watch the movie and both were fantastic. Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors ever! I wouldn't mind to share a Paella with him!!!
I saw this multicolored Pasta nests and inmediately came to my mind the idea of the dish. But it couldn't be a cuckoo's nest because they don't build them. When the cuckoo's female has to "give birth" to the egg (please excuse my english, couldn't find the proper way to say that), looks for another birds' nest and leaves there her egg. When the tiny birdies are born the cuckoo throws its "brothers in law" out of the nest! Cuckoos don't know much about gratefulness, do they?

•Ingredients for 4 servings: 60 grs of cured ham, 1 big onion, 2 garlic cloves, 4 ripe tomatoes, Pasta for 4 (aprox 100grs each), duck foie, 12 quail eggs, olive oil, salt and parsley.
•Start a sofrito with the ham, when starts smelling great, add the onion and garlic and when the onion is transparent, add the tomatoe sauce (made out of the ripe tomatoes).
•Be patient and stir and stir until you get the sofrito done. Low heat and wait until the tomatoe seems to dissapear and it gets oily. Add a pinch of salt. The sofrito should look caramelized when finished.
•Keep it warm while you boil the pasta (follow package instructions) Rinse and drop some oil on top so that it doesn’t get sticky.
•Boil the quail eggs for 1 minute, peel and reserve.
•Place the pasta in a plate and try to make a nest with it. In the middle hole place the sofrito. Reserve the oily part.
•Add small pieces of duck foie grass on top of the sofrito.
•Place the tiny eggs on top. Sprinkle with some parsley. Add a pinch of salt and drop a bit of the sofrito’s oil on top of the eggs and pasta.
My daughter knows much about gratefulness... she still saying how good the Pasta was!!!
Buen Provecho!!!
