Pasta with prawns in creamy garlic sauce ala Marco




I had a very satisfying lunch today. Marco cooked his own version of Pasta with prawns in creamy garlic sauce (click the link to see the original recipe) . Super yummy!

Here's how my boyfriend did it in a more affordable way.

INGREDIENTS :
200 g. of uncooked pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine or linguine)
1 small pack of dried shrimps or dried hibe (instead of fresh prawns, about 12 pieces)
1 c. of cream1/2 c. of shredded regular cheddar cheese (instead of parmesan cheese)
1/4 c. of butter
1/2 head of garlic
a little Italian herbs (instead of a handful of fresh parsley)
salt and pepper to taste

COOKING PROCEDURE :
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, douse with cold water, drain again and set aside.While the pasta cooks, boil the dried shrimps (dried hibe) to remove excess salt and residue. Heat the butter in a large sauce pan. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned. Pour in the cream, lower the heat and bring to simmering (not boiling) point. Add the dried shrimp and simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the Italian herbs and grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper.Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat the noodles well. Transfer to a serving platter and serve at once.
