🛒 INGREDIENTS
- 180 g BIS Cuttlefish Ink Spaghetti
- 3 eggs (2 yolks and 1 whole)
- 200 g Aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 350 g Fresh shrimp
- BIS Bottarga to taste
- “Don Vincenzo” Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
📝 DIRECTIONS
- Cleaning the shrimp:
Shell the shrimp, removing the carapace and the intestinal tract. Then finely chop them on a cutting board. - Flavoring:
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of BIS Don Vincenzo Oil, made with hand-selected olives. Its rich flavor enhances every ingredient. - Cooking the shrimp:
Sauté them briefly in a pan: first over high heat to seal, then lower the heat to finish cooking. - Egg cream:
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks and the whole egg with the Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Do not cook the cream directly over the heat: we pasteurize it by pouring the hot pasta directly into the bowl. - Cooking the pasta:
Boil the BIS Cuttlefish Ink Spaghetti in plenty of salted water. As soon as they are ready, drain them and pour them immediately into the egg cream, stirring vigorously. - Plating:
Roll the spaghetti into nests, place the sautéed shrimp on top, and finish with a generous grating of BIS Bottarga.
