Pipette Rigate and a Shrimp Cream Sauce: Shrimp and cream work remarkably well together, and this pasta dish is perfect for a romantic occasion.
INGREDIENTS:
14 ounces (350 g) pipette or similar short pasta
8 ounces (200 g) scampi -- these are prawns, though one could make do with shrimp
10 cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup heavy cream
Minced parsley
Sweet butter
Salt and pepper to taste.
PREPARATION:
Set pasta water to heat, and when it reaches a boil salt it and add the pasta.
Blanch, and peel the tomatoes, and cut them in half, discarding the seeds.
In the meantime, shell the prawns and chop the flesh. Sauté the prawns in a walnut-sized chunk of butter for a couple of minutes, then add the cream and the tomatoes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, adding a little more cream or milk should the sauce be over thick, and check seasoning. By now the pasta should be done; drain it, toss it with the sauce to coat it, dust it with the minced parsley, and serve.
