[MypinchofItaly]

Serves: 2 | Preparation time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins

• Paccheri: 180 g
• Burrata: 200 g
• Shrimps: 100 g
• White wine, dry: about 50 ml
• Garlic: 1 clove
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tbsp
• Saffron: 1 tsp
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Clean the shrimps: first remove the head, than the legs, then the shell. Depending on your own preferences you can also pull out the tail and the black vein that runs through their body. Once the shrimps are cleaned, rinse them well and gently dry them with kitchen paper.

Tip: For this recipe you can also use frozen shrimps, which usually have already been cleaned. Take them out of the fridge the night before; when it’s time to cook this pasta, rinse the shrimps and gently dry them with some kitchen paper.

Start by cooking Paccheri in a pot of boiling salted water.

Peel the garlic. Heat up the oil in a pan and brown the garlic, then remove it from the oil.

Add the shrimps to the pan and brown them on both sides on medium heat. Pour in the wine and let it simmer.

Dice the Burrata into small cubes and add them to the shrimps, along with the saffron. Stir thoroughly and constantly to make sure that the burrata melts into a homogeneous cream.

Once Paccheri are ready, drain them and add them to the shrimps sauce in the pan. Sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper and serve.
