Method

Step 1

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil, add the sliced shallot and diced fennel (cleaned, washed, and cut). Sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, then cover with water and let them stew for about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add the saffron, and blend to obtain a thick cream.

Step 2

Clean the red prawns by removing the intestine. Place them on a baking tray with lime zest, salt, pepper, thyme, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Cook at 100 degrees C. for 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, drain it "al dente," and toss it with the fennel cream, diluted with some cooking water, and the diced lime zest.

Step 4

Plate the pasta and add the red prawns.

Step 5

Garnish with a few drops of cuttlefish ink and some sprigs of wild fennel or dill, and finish with a sprinkle of pepper.
