Ravioli Recipe - Luxury Mediterranean Prawns with Fresh Pasta and Tomato Sauce

Mediterranean Delight

Here's a superb Ravioli Recipe to practice your Pasta Making skills on and produce a special dish with Mediterranean Prawns - Langostinos.

First make your Pasta, Rolling it out as thinly as you can - for a really delicate Ravioli.

Then cut out discs of around 9cms./3.5" in diameter. We use the bottom of a drinking glass which just happens to be exactly right. Make about 24 for four people.

Then the Prawns - uncooked, of course. About six per person.

Peeled and set aside.

Now - let us tell you what you'll need and how to proceed.

Ingredients for Four People.

24 Large Mediterranean Prawns - Langostinos.
24 Pasta discs.
2 Large cloves of Garlic - thinly sliced.
Chilli Flakes.
A handfull of Flat Leaf Parsley.
One lemon - juice of.
Salt.

For the Sauce.

Three or Four tablespoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).
Two large tomatoes - chopped.
Two Shallots - sliced.
6 - 8 Large Basil Leaves - chopped.
Salt and Black Pepper.

This is what you do.

Method

Lay the pasta discs on a flat surface and place a curled Prawn on each one.
Lay a sliver of garlic - a sprinkle of chilli flakes and a sprinkle of parsley on each Prawn.
Top with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little Salt.
Now close up your pasta to make semi-circular Ravioli.
Meanwhile make the sauce - gently cook the shallots in the oil until soft and then add the chopped tomato, basil, salt and pepper to taste.
Stir for one minute and remove from the heat.
Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water for 2-3 minutes - depending on the thickness.
Drain and arrange on warm plates.
Spoon over the sauce and serve straight away.

Fantastic!
