Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While potatoes simmer, trim, bone, and cut the cod fillets across into 2-inch pieces.
• Drain potatoes well and return to the pot. Add a pinch of cayenne, salt, and 4 tablespoons butter. Mash until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 individual-sized casserole or baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter. Place both dishes on a baking sheet.
• Transfer about 2/3 cup of the mashed potatoes into each of the prepared dishes. Smooth out evenly and make a shallow depression with a spoon down the middle. Set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots in the hot butter with a pinch of salt until they just start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Add cod and wait for the sauce to come back to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, while basting with the sauce; turn and cook for 1 minute more.
• Pour in lemon juice and turn off the heat; stir for about 30 seconds.
• Divide the pieces of cod over the potato. Add enough sauce to just cover the fish and return the pan to the stove.
• Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in tarragon.
• Spoon the thickened sauce over the cod. Add a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cod is cooked through and the sauce is browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When that is blended add 2 cups of the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Add 1 cup of the cheese, blend well and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, for one minute.
• Add the egg yolk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.
• Place the cod in a skillet large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Add water to cover, remaining milk, bay leaf, onion, cloves, Tabasco sauce, peppercorns, parsley sprigs, salt and pepper. The fish should be covered with the liquid. Bring to a boil and simmer for one minute. Remove from the heat and drain.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in salted water in a saucepan about 2 to 3 minutes or according to package directions. Do not overcook. Drain quickly, return the noodles to the saucepan and add the remaining butter, salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• Pour the noodles into a baking dish and arrange the fish over them. Spoon the cheese sauce over the fish and noodles and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve piping hot.
