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:

A nice plate of pasta with garlic, oil and chilli pepper and prawns.
Some time ago, a chef friend of mine made me taste this pasta dish that combines two preparations that I had never tried before: pasta with garlic, oil and chilli pepper with the addition of some prawns.
I must say that, in its simplicity, it was a truly delicious dish and that I will definitely try to prepare at home.

Spaghetti with clams and bottarga

Spaghetti with clams and bottarga.
According to my girlfriend, up until now, they are almost the best spaghetti with clams that she has eaten in Italy.
With the addition of bottarga they have even more flavor!
We tasted them at the Caffè del Porto restaurant in Santa Margherita Ligure (the website caffedelportosanta.it).

Spaghetti with seafood, the recipe

Spaghetti con sugo di pomodorini, sgombro, pannocchie e gamberetti, la ricetta

Spaghetti with cherry tomato sauce, mackerel, corn on the cob and shrimp, the recipe.
Since I had some fish leftovers in the freezer, I decided to make a nice sauce with everything I had and some datterino tomatoes.

Ingredients (enough for two people):

– a couple of mackerel fillets
– a dozen cherry tomatoes
– a few prawns
– a couple of mantis shrimps
– extra virgin olive oil
– garlic
– chilli pepper
– salt
– spaghetti
– parsley

Preparation:

First prepare the fish; since it was all frozen the night before I put everything in the fridge to have everything ready for lunch. It's all very simple except for the mantis shrimp which have a simple technique to be cleaned (if you search online you will find many examples).

So let's get started!
Let's put some salted water on the stove to cook the spaghetti while we prepare the sauce.
In a nice pan we put plenty of oil, a crushed clove of garlic and the chili pepper.
When it starts to fry we add the cherry tomatoes that I previously washed and cut in half.
After a few minutes of cooking we add a little salt and remove the garlic and chili pepper.
In this preparation I added water or wine because enough water comes out of the cherry tomatoes.
After a good five minutes of cooking we add the mackerel (mashing it with a ladle); I let the mackerel cook for 5 minutes but perhaps it could be done in less time.
Now add the shrimp and, after a couple of minutes, the mantis shrimp.
Two minutes and turn off.
I don't like the cherry tomato balls so at this point I remove them, being careful to leave the pulp, possibly still attached, in the sauce.
If in the meantime you have already thrown in the pasta, now it will be almost ready; I always take it out a couple of minutes before it is ready to finish cooking it in the pan with the sauce.
In fact, I turn the heat back on under the pan with the sauce and add the spaghetti, also adding plenty of pasta cooking water.
After exactly two minutes the water has evaporated, leaving a thick and tasty cream.
And now everything is ready, sprinkle with parsley and plate!

Diverso tempo fa ormai mi sono preparato queso sughetto semplice con salsa di pomodoro e tonno fresco.
Semplice perché, in poco tempo di preparazione, si ottiene un piatto molto ma molto gustoso.
Ho comprato del tonno fresco a cubetti e ho fatto il sugo facendo prima la salsa.
Risultato ottimo davvero!

A nice plate of spaghetti with octopus sauce

A nice plate of spaghetti with octopus sauce.
Some time ago I tried to prepare this dish and I must say that both the flavor and the photos came out really well, I think.
The sauce was really thick and tasty and the pasta used was exceptional.

For the recipe I refer you to article by Loris who wrote it a few weeks ago. For the spaghetti, which were given to me by a colleague, I leave you the pasta factory's website reginadeisibillini.it.

Bun thit nuong: grilled pork with noodles

Bun thit nuong: maiale grigliato con noodles

Bun thit nuong: grilled pork with noodles.
A very typical cold dish of Vietnam with rice noodles and pork.
The dish is very simple and garnished with some sweet and sour vegetables and some toasted peanuts.
Good for my taste too and if it were hot it would be even better for me!
I don't remember the place where I tasted this dish and, since it is not typical of a particular region, it doesn't make me remember where I was.

Vietnamese cuisine seeks to combine fragrances, flavors and colors, based on the philosophy of the five elements. Many dishes contain the 5 basic flavors: spicy, sour, bitter, salty and sweet, which correspond to the five organs: gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, stomach and urinary bladder.
