13 July 2018

Ingredients:
16 medium prawns
2 garlic cloves
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
40 ml Alexander Prosecco Grappa
8 ripe small tomatoes
½ glass white wine
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
2 medium courgettes
1 tsp butter
300 g tagliatelline
chopped parsley to decorate

Preparation:
Wash the prawns and pat dry. Sauté the garlic cloves with the olive oil. When the oil is flavoured remove the garlic and add the prawns, sauté them for 2 minutes, then spray with the grappa and flambé. Drain the
prawns, remove shells and heads and set the flesh aside. Place the shells and claws back in the frying pan, add the chopped tomatoes, white wine, salt and pepper, and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Strain and put the sauce back in the frying pan. In the meantime clean and julienne cut the courgettes, add them to the sauce and cook for 3 minutes. Turn the element off and add the butter. Cook the tagliatelline in plenty of salted boiling water, then drain and sauté for one minute in the frying pan with the prawn sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
