Recipe by: www.detnews.com 8/22/95 Fettuccine: Leaving phyllo rolled up,
cut into 1/4-inch slices with a knife to form strips of dough the width of
fettuccine. Remove paper strips. Toss phyllo to loosen and separate. On a
sheet pan, lined with parchment paper, divide the strips into 12 equal
"nests approximately 3 inches in diameter. With a pastry brush, brush each
nest with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated
350-degree oven until lightly browned. Remove from oven to cool.
Fruit Salad: Chop strawberries, then mix with raspberries, blueberries and
chopped mint.
Mango Ice Cream: Remove ice cream from freezer and allow it to soften. Peel
and remove pulp from mango seeds. Puree pulp in food processor. Mix the
pulp with softened ice cream. Line an 8x8x2-inch pan with plastic wrap.
Spread softened ice cream into pan. Cover and refreeze. Store any extra ice
cream for use at a later time.
Sauces: Puree apricots in food processor. Force through fine mesh strainer,
pushing as much fruit through strainer as possible. Pour sauce into squeeze
bottle. If using frozen raspberries, next reserve 1/2 cup liquid. Puree and
strain raspberries. (If using frozen, add reserved juice to sauce). Pour
sauce into squeeze bottle. Put whipped cream into squeeze bottle.
To serve: Cut ice cream into 6 equal squares. Place 1 fettuccine nest in
the center of each plate. Top with mixed fruit and mint. Place a square of
ice cream on top of fruit. Top with another fettuccine nest. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Using squeeze bottles, drizzle each sauce in a ring around
the fettuccine nest. Start with whipped cream, then apricot, then raspberry
sauce. On bamboo skewers, place 1 strawberry, 1 raspberry and 1 blueberry
per serving. Place vertically in the center of each nest for garnish.
