Recipe

Anistelle Arlecchino (with courgettes, carrots, shallots and small prawns).

This very colourful `and fun recipe is named after Arlecchino, the famous clown featured in Italian “commedia dell’ arte” known to all Italian kids and adults. I found that, when my daughter was little, if I chopped ingredients small enough, she would not be able to pick out the bits she didn’t like…and also she wouldn’t know what they were!

This recipe is deliciously healthy, combining the goodness of the vegetables with the balanced proteins of the shellfish.

Ingredients for 4 children:
250g Danielle Garofalo,
1 courgette,
1 small carrot,
½ shallots,
1 clove of garlic,
150 g small shelled cooked shrimps,
1 tbsp. chopped chive,
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil,
3 tbsp. parmesan.

Method:
Cut the courgette in quarters making sure you remove all the seeds.
Chop into a small mirepoix and repeat for the carrot, shallot and chives.
In a large frying pan put the olive oil, the crushed garlic and sauté, and then add the micro mirepoix and cook gently for 10 minutes. Check to season but be aware the saltiness will come from both the shrimps and the parmesan.
In the meantime boil a copious amount of water (at least one litre per 100 g of pasta), and when boiling add the salt, roughly speaking 2 TBS rock salt, add the pasta and stir well. The right al dente time for Danielle is 12 minutes, so to enjoy fully the Garofalo flavour and “bite” stick to the advised cooking time!
(In order to maintain a lower GI and hence keeping the pasta light and easily digested, don’t overcook it!).
Rinse the shrimps under running water, drain well in a sieve and with a big knife, chop to a fine pulp and add to the mirepoix. Mix well all the ingredients and since the shrimps are already cooked it will only take a couple of minutes to warm through.
Drain the pasta (keep a little water to one side), and put straight into the vegetables. Add some olive oil and a little of the cooking water if you think it’s too dry. Add the parmesan for extra creaminess, (no salt since the prawns are salty, so is the parmesan) serve at once and remember …..It’s for the kids!
