Preparation
Clean the prawns well. Set the heads, legs, and carapace aside, as you will need them for the comic. Incise the back and remove the intestine.
- Season the prawns with plenty of lemon oil, chili pepper, two cloves of garlic and finely chopped herbs, a pinch of pepper, and the grated lemon zest. Cover with transparent film and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- After the time has elapsed, in a pan, fry two cloves of garlic and the chili pepper in oil with lemon, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and the white wine, and cover with vegetable broth or water, cooking over low heat.
- In the meantime, cook the remains of the prawns in lemon oil, a clove of garlic, salt, pepper, and half a glass of water in a saucepan for about ten minutes. Strain, add the fumet to the pasta sauce, and cook over low heat for about twenty minutes (add vegetable broth if necessary). Eliminate the garlic.
- Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of boiling salted water. Drain them al dente and finish cooking in a pan, sautéing with a few tablespoons of lemon oil.
- Toast a slice of panettone and crumble it coarsely.
- Serve the fettuccine with the prawns*, a little of their marinade, and the panettone crumbs, and finish with a drizzle of oil and fresh herbs.
