Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns, the recipe

Spaghetti con pomodorini e gamberoni, la ricetta

Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns, the recipe.
Some time ago I had the pleasure of enjoying a good plate of pasta with cherry tomatoes and prawns on the ship.
Since I had the photos back at hand, I decided to write to you how to prepare them at home (with a little help from AI). The preparation is really simple, I assure you.

Ingredients:

– 350g spaghetti;
– 300g cherry tomatoes;
– 250g shelled prawns;
– 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped;
– Extra virgin olive oil;
– Salt and black pepper to taste;
– Chili pepper (optional, according to taste);
– Fresh parsley, finely chopped;

Preparation:

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a little of the cooking water.
In a large frying pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and, if you like, chilli pepper for a spicy kick.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to release their juices and become soft.
Add the peeled prawns to the pan and cook for a further 3-5 minutes or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too dry, you can add a little of the spaghetti cooking water.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and mix well, making sure they are well seasoned with the sauce.
Serve the spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns on individual plates, garnishing with a drizzle of fresh extra virgin olive oil and chopped parsley.
Enjoy!

A plate of spaghetti cacio e pepe enjoyed on board

Spaghetti cacio e pepe gustati in nave

A plate of spaghetti cacio e pepe enjoyed on board
A dish that I must say I appreciate very much, even though I have eaten it relatively little, is pasta cacio e pepe.
Even though the ingredients are very simple, it is not at all easy to prepare this type of pasta.
Everything must be cooked properly otherwise the cheese will string and clump together.
At home, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I found the right measurements, as did the chef on the ship who, the time I took these photos, had cooked an excellent dish!

To discover my recipe click here.

Cacio e pepe is a typical dish from Lazio. As the name suggests, the ingredients are very simple and include only black pepper, pecorino romano cheese and pasta. The most traditionally used type of pasta is tonnarello. Like other dishes of Lazio cuisine, it is prepared with simple ingredients, easily available and with a long shelf life (during the transhumance it was not easy to get food). It has its roots in the cuisine of farmers and shepherds of the Roman countryside.

A good plate of spaghetti with clams enjoyed in Genoa.
When I'm in Genoa for some errands (or for a little tour) I always try to find a restaurant to eat well and spend little.
One of the last times I ate, together with my wife, in one of the many little restaurants that overlook Piazza Caricamento right in front of the Porto Antico of Genoa.
We enjoyed an excellent plate of spaghetti with clams, very good!

Spaghetti with lobster sauce, the recipe

Gli spaghetti al sugo di astice, la ricetta

Spaghetti with lobster sauce, the recipe.
Every now and then, on the ship, I am lucky enough to enjoy a plate of pasta seasoned with lobster sauce (or crawfish, depending on what's on the menu).
Making the sauce at home is not particularly difficult either, but as with everything, it also takes a little talent.
Here I propose a simple recipe that ChatGPT helped me write.

Ingredients:

– 400 g spaghetti;
– 1 whole lobster (or already cleaned and halved);
– a few fresh cherry tomatoes;
– 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped;
– Red chilli pepper (to taste, for a spicy touch);
– Fresh parsley, chopped;
– Extra virgin olive oil;
– Salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation:

Lobster preparation:
If you are using a whole lobster, cook it in a pot of boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes until it turns red. Drain the lobster and let it cool slightly. Then crack the shell and scoop out the meat. Cut the lobster meat into smaller pieces, leaving a few larger pieces for decoration at the end.
Sauce preparation:
In a large frying pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chili pepper (if desired) and fry until the garlic turns golden.
Add the halved fresh cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the previously prepared lobster meat and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little of the pasta cooking water to thin it out.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta al dente and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
Add the spaghetti to the lobster sauce in the pan, mix well and sauté for a minute, adding a little cooking water if necessary to combine everything.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and mix.

Serve the spaghetti with lobster sauce garnished with larger pieces of lobster and a drizzle of fresh olive oil.

Contrary to popular belief, the lobster and the crawfish are only loosely related, belonging to two distinct infraorders of the same suborder. By comparison, these two species are as closely related as humans are to tarsiers.

Spaghettoni with prawns and pistachios, the recipe

Spaghettoni with prawns and pistachios, the recipe.
Some time ago I was in Palermo in Sicily and I tasted this dish that amazed me for its taste.
At home I tried to repeat it and the result (which I can certainly work on) was not bad at all.
I'll explain how I did it!

Please remember: if you have any suggestions or questions, add a comment. comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Ingredients

– spaghetti number 5 (or larger);
– about ten cleaned prawns (preferably fresh);
– a handful of pistachios (shelled but those with the shell are also fine, but you need to spend a bit of time shelling them);
– garlic;
– olive oil;
– a lemon (we will only use it to grate a little zest);
– white wine.

Preparation

Let's put a pot of salted water on to boil (where we will boil the pasta) and while the water is boiling, let's prepare the dressing.

We heat some water in a saucepan and throw in the pistachios to blanch, just for a minute. Once this is done, we remove them from the water and place them on a cloth. We close the cloth with the pistachios inside and by pressing we drag the seeds against each other and against the cloth; in this way the skin that wraps the pistachios comes off (or should) very easily (it doesn't matter if some skin remains.
Once peeled, with a knife, we cut them into large pieces.
In a pan we put the olive oil and the garlic to fry; when the oil is hot we add the prawns and, when they become white, we blend with the wine and add half of the pistachios that we have prepared; we let the alcohol evaporate for less than a minute and turn off.

Meanwhile, if the water is boiling, throw in the pasta.

Once the pasta is almost al dente, pour it into the pan to finish cooking and release a little starch (which makes the cream) and the dish is almost ready.
Pour into a plate, add the remaining pistachios and grate the lemon (to taste)!

And this is the result:
