METHOD

STEP 1

Put a pot on the fire with plenty of salted water to cook the gnocchi.

Wash zucchini and cut into julienne strips.

Put oil in a non-stick pan, heat then add zucchini and a pinch of salt, cook for 2 minutes.

Add a ladleful of vegetable broth, finish cooking the zucchini (about 10 minutes).

STEP 2

When the water boils, cook the gnocchi, follow the cooking times indicated on the package (usually gnocchi are cooked when they float to the surface, about 4 – 5 minutes).

Meanwhile, add shrimp and 1 tablespoon oil to skillet with zucchini.

Cook for 1 minute, add white wine, deglaze, and finish cooking for another 2 minutes.

Adjust salt and pepper.

STEP 3

Drain the gnocchi directly into the pan with the sauce, add 1 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water.

Gently mix to flavor and continue cooking for a few seconds. If the cooking base is too dry, add a spoonful of water.

Serve immediately, sprinkling some fresh minced parsley on the surface

NOTE

You can use fresh shrimp or frozen shrimp: if you use frozen prawns, defrost them at room temperature before using them. You can defrost shrimp by placing a storage bag in boiling water for about 5 minutes.

I advise you to put prawns in the pasta already peeled.

For a creamier sauce put a small part of the zucchini in the blender together with 2 – 3 tablespoons of broth or water, blend and then add to the gnocchi.

STORAGE

Zucchini and shrimp gnocchi should be eaten as soon as they are ready, alternatively you can keep them in the fridge for a maximum of 1 day in an airtight container.
