Two of my quick'n'easy pasta recipes.
Ea's ravioli with shrimps and spinach
1 person
preparation time: 10-15 min. all included
Ingredients:
125 g fresh ravioli with cheese filling
100 g shrimps - small or large as you prefer
100 g spinach, preferably whole leaves, cut roughly
Garlic. Either a dash or two of dried, crushed garlic, or, if fresh, 1/2 clove, chopped.
Salt and pepper.
Optional:
Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded, and olive oil, for topping.
Amounts are guiding only. Adjust to what you prefer.
Preparation:
Thaw the shrimp and spinach if frozen. Chop spinach roughly. Boil water for cooking pasta, and heat up frying-pan for spinach and shrimps to medium-high. While the pasta is cooking (keep an eye on it, need only 3 min.), heat up a a little olive oil/butter/margerine on the pan, and add spinach and garlic. Turn over and heat up/cook the spinach and add shrimps. Turn down heat. Shrimps musn't cook on too high temperature, or they get a tough structure. Drain ravioli, and add to shrimps and spinach. Turn over to blend all well. Add a dash of pepper, and salt if needed.
Serve warm and fresh, topped with parmesan cheese and sprinkled with olive oil.
Ea's Lemon-and-olive oil marinated salmon with pasta
1 person
preparation time: marinating: 1-2 hours, cooking time: 10 min.
Ingredients:
One salmon fillet
1/2 - 1 Chili pepper, not too strong, and preferably red as it looks nicer than green
1 -1 1/2 sp. olive oil
1 -1 1/2 sp. lemon juice
Salt
100-125 g tagliolini pasta or spaghetti
Preparation:
Cut salmon fillet in bite sized pieces. Chop chili pepper finely. Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, and chili pepper, and marinate the salmon pieces in this mixture for at least 1 hour. Cook the spaghetti and drain the water. Add the marinated salmon to the spaghetti in the cooking pot and turn gently. If there's lots of marinade left over, you made too much - and don't add it, the fish is dead and can't swim anyway. The heat from the pasta will cook the salmon, and it should not need to be re-heated. When the salmon is cooked gently this way, it is particularly soft and creamy.
