Hi everyone. Today for lunch I enjoy making this lovely pasta dish with a courgettes pesto, king prawns, and Goji berries. These Goji berries have been qualify as super-food that will give to your pasta dish a sweet touch.
Ingredients
- 1 courgette
- 5/8 leaf of basil
- Handfull of pistachios
- 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
- The zest of one lemon
- 3 king prawns (I bought them frozen and already clean)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Linguine pasta
- Handful of Goji berries
Procedures
Wash the courgette and cut only the green of it for making the pesto.
Put the pistachios and the Parmesan cheese in the blender, and blend them together until is really fine. Then add the courgette, the pesto leafs, salt, lemon zest, and extra virgin olive oil. Everything just a bit at a time.
When the pesto is ready, just leave it on the side.
Put the water for the pasta on the hob.
In a glass with hot water put the Goji berries so they can get softer.
In a pan with a notch of butter cook the king prawns.
When they are cooked, peel them and cut two of them, and put them back in the pan with Goji berries for a couple of minutes.
When the pasta is ready add it into the pan with a bit of water used for cooking it and add the pesto to it.
Mix everything well together and dish it up, adding at the end the king prawn you got left.
Enjoy it….!!! Ciao….!!!
