Portata: First_course
Difficulty: Easy
Preparation time: 30 min
Very quick and easy to make, with an intense red passion, ideal for special occasions like an anniversary or Valentine's day. You can use the pasta you like. I preferred the paccheri for their shape. Being small but generous when they fill up well with the sauce.
Ingredients
- 300gr of paccheri (75gr per person)
- 100gr shrimps or prawns
- Orange peel
- 2-cooked red beet
Instructions
- Chop coarse enough beets.
- Put in a blender, season with salt and pepper and blend.
- Boil water in a pot, add salt and cook the pasta. Since you must go over it in the Pan, leave a little bit back, should be just over al dente.
- A couple of minutes before the pasta is ready, you blast just just shrimp in a pan with a knob of butter and a clove of garlic. Pour in a splash of white wine, better if you have some brandy.
- Drain the pasta.
- Pour a little olive oil in a pan, pour the pasta, spinach puree and shrimp and turn to mix for a few minutes.
- Serve and ultimate with a grated orange peel that will contrast with the sweetness of beetroot.
