This is a mouth watering summer recipe that I will definitely try this season: gnocchetti with prawns and asparagus tips.
Ingredients are asparagus, prawns, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, pine nuts, white wine and potato gnocchi which is best if homemade.
Wash the asparagus, keep only the tips, and steam cook them or very slightly boil them.
Mash the garlic and onion and fry them in a pan, adding then the pine nuts.
After a couple of minutes, add the prawns and a splash of white wine.
The prawns can be either shelled or used whole, but the heads and tails should be cooked with the rest to give extra taste.
When the prawns are nearly cooked, add the asparagus and a pinch of salt.
When the gnocchi is cooked, toss them for two minutes in the pan and then you’re ready! We’ll leave the white wine choice to you.
