Ingredients

  • Flour 300 g
  • 2 eggs
  • Egg yolks x 4
  • Zucchini 150 g
  • Potatoes 100g
  • Red shrimp 120 g
  • Sheep’s milk ricotta 100 g
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil 40 g
  • Grated Parmigiano Reggiano PDO 30 g
  • Fresh basil 10 g
  • Garlic 5 g
  • Salt as needed
  • Black pepper to taste

Preparation

Knead the flour with the eggs until smooth and uniform. Roll out a thin sheet of pasta and cut it into even rectangles. Blanch them in salted water for a few seconds, then chill immediately in ice water.

Cook the peeled potatoes, cut into cubes, in salted water, then blend them with part of the ricotta until velvety smooth.

In a blender, purée the blanched zucchini with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, fresh basil, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, and the remaining ricotta to obtain a creamy green pesto.

Clean the red shrimp, removing the shells and vein. Lightly season with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, and pepper.

On a serving plate, alternate layers of pasta with the zucchini pesto and the potato cream, using a piping bag for a neat presentation.

Arrange the marinated shrimp on the top layer and finish with a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a light dusting of black pepper.
