[Homemade] Roast duck with parmesan garlic pasta

Every now and then my grocery has a frozen duck with the chickens/turkeys so this is a kinda special/unusual meal for me. I do a honey, lemon, balsamic glaze on the duck and it comes out delicious. The recipe I follow is here!

Going on a tangent here, but I love how detailed that recipe is. Very instructive for newbie cooks like me.

Yes that was a big help to me too. First time I made it I had never cooked a whole bird before so I was pretty nervous.

honestly im taken aback by your confidence in using two bowls here. i would eat all of that on a single plate 🤤

Don't worry, it's only in two bowls because I was sharing!

Do you have a recipe for the Parmesan garlic pasta?

Yep! This is what I followed:

The only thing I did different was I made my own broth with the duck neck/giblets instead of the vegetable broth.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to trying it out, and I definitely will try roasting a duck as soon as the weather gets a little less hot where I am. I don’t like balsamic, so I’m thinking of trying with soy instead? Not sure how it will affect the flavor profile, I might be better off doing a mix of hoisin sauce and rice wine vinegar or similar to still capture the sweet/acid rather than going salty instead.

I bet you could find a recipe for duck that uses soy, I think that would be pretty tasty! The sweet and acidic from the balsamic and honey goes very well with the pasta in this recipe so if you’re definitely pairing it with that, the vinegar/hoisin would probably be my preference. You do you though and whenever you make it, let us know how it goes!
