Pasta/Pizza - Tortiglioni with shrimp by Iustina D. - Recipia

Tortiglioni with shrimp finish cooking in the pan with 100 ml of reserved pasta water, after the white wine has reduced. The shrimp cook with garlic, and the pasta absorbs the liquid, leaving a thin sauce sprinkled with parsley; this is where pasta with shrimp and dry white wine come together. I watch for the shrimp to turn opaque without curling up too much. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 28 minutes. Total time: 38 minutes. Servings: 2. Approximately 630 kcal and 37 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

2000 ml water for the pasta (reserve 100 ml)
200 g tortiglioni pasta
30 ml olive oil
3 garlic cloves
200 g frozen raw peeled shrimp
200 ml dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
10 g parsley leaves

Preparation

1. Bring 2000 ml of water to a boil, about 8 minutes. Add the tortiglioni and cook for 5 minutes, until half-done; drain and reserve 100 ml of the cooking water. 2. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Peel the garlic, slice it and sauté for 1 minute. Add the frozen shrimp, wine, salt and pepper; cook for 8 minutes, until the wine has reduced and the shrimp turn opaque. 3. Add the pasta and the reserved 100 ml of water to the pan. Cook for 6 minutes, until the water has reduced and the pasta is cooked. Chop the parsley, sprinkle it over the pasta before turning off the heat, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days; add a little water when reheating. Raw, peeled shrimp that are similar in size cook evenly. I don’t rush the wine reduction; the pasta goes in only after the liquid has reduced. Add the wine before cooking; for an alcohol-free version, replace it with 200 ml of vegetable stock. The pasta contains gluten; serve with a glass of dry white wine.
