What delicious noodles! Today we have outdone ourselves with these tagliatelle with garlic prawns and creamy pesto sauce. It is also a very easy recipe that we can make more or less elaborate depending on the time we have: if we have little time we can opt for a ready-made pesto sauce and if we have more time We will be able to prepare our own pesto sauce.

If you are of the latter option, we leave you several delicious options:

Authentic Genoese pesto

We prepare a recipe for authentic Genoese pesto and we will tell you all the keys and tricks to make it like the one from Italy

Vegan pesto

Vegan pesto adapts the traditional Genoese pesto recipe by substituting brewer's yeast for Parmesan. An ideal sauce to accompany pasta and vegetables.

Parsley pesto

We reinvent the traditional pesto sauce by making it with parsley, which will give a very different touch to your pasta dishes.

We talk about creamy sauce pesto because we are going to mix it with cooking cream to make a smoother, creamier sauce.

Recipe type: pasta
Calories: 350
Rations: 4

Cooking time: 20M
Total time: 20M

Ingredients

350 g of noodles (we can also substitute them with any other long pasta, such as spaghetti)
150 g pesto sauce
200 ml of liquid cream for cooking
100 ml of pasta cooking water
300 g of shrimp (or prawns)
2 cloves of garlic
a bunch of couples
1 chilli (optional)
50 g olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Preparation

The first step is to cook the pasta. We can cook it in the traditional way in a saucepan or we can use our thermomix following these steps: steps to cook pasta in thermomix.

IMPORTANT: Once the pasta is cooked, we need to reserve the pasta cooking water, as we will use it to lighten our pesto sauce. Don't throw it away!
In the glass we add the oil, garlic, parsley and chilli and blend. 15 seconds, speed 7. We lower the remains of the lid and walls and add the shrimps. We program 1 minute, temperature 120º, turn to the left, spoon speed. We withdraw and reserve.
Without washing the glass, add the pesto sauce, the cream and the reserved cooking water. 7 minutes, temperature 100º, speed 3.
Plated

We have two options for plating:
- Casserole: We use a large saucepan and place the pasta. We pour the pesto sauce on top and stir well. We top with the garlic prawns that we had reserved.
- Individual dishes: We place a base of noodles on each plate, add two good spoonfuls of pesto sauce and top with the prawns.
