- Tagliatelle with Leeks and Shrimp Sauce
- (Tagliatelle con Porri e
Salsa di Gamberetti)
-
|
-
- Ingredients:
-
1 lb fresh tagliatelle pasta
1 lb medium size shelled shrimp
2 large leeks
2 tbsp coarse salt
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp butter
1 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup of grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Directions:
-
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan, toss in
the shrimp and quickly brown for about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
-
- Clean the leeks discarding the top green
part.
-
- Slice and rinse repeatedly in cold water to eliminate
any trace of dirt.
-
- Drain well.
-
- Heat the remaining olive oil in another pan,
add the leeks and stir them over moderate heat until they
become soft.
-
- Add the chopped onion and keep on stirring
for another 5 minutes.
-
- Then add the butter and the chicken
stock.
-
- Three minutes later add the shrimp and cook
for a few more minutes.
-
- Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
-
- Cook the fresh tagliatelle in salted boiling
water.
-
- Stir with a wooden spoon. Because the tagliatelle are
fresh, they will be cooked by the time the water returns to a
boil (about 2 minutes).
-
- Drain, place in a pre-heated platter or
bowl, toss in the leek and shrimp sauce with some of the
cheese.
-
- Serve, bringing the rest of the Pecorino Romano cheese
to the table in a separate bowl. Serves 4.
