Pasta for Mother's Day – Italian Cuisine

May 12th is Mother's Day: what better time to have lunch together? However, compared to other Sundays, the revolution could start from the kitchen, which for the first time will not see it in the kitchen, but sitting among the guests in the dining room. We'll do the cooking, provided we can indulge ourselves. With something simple, but very different from the usual pasta dish. That in any case, when eating with mum, it must never fail!

Why make pasta

Mother's Day is the day when you feel close, enjoy time with simplicity and joy. And have some fun. And what's more fun than a plate of spaghetti? To eat accompanied by a good glass of wine, to make an exception to the rule and cuddle a little. Given the special occasion and delicate ingredients, we can even dare to sparkle. Cheers!

… but not just any

As we said today is a special day, which requires a special pasta. In the recipe we have chosen, the spaghetti is colored red thanks to the beetroot and is seasoned with a delicate white burrata cream. In short, everything the opposite of what we are used to: the classic spaghetti seasoned with a red tomato sauce. A funny surprise that your mother will love so much to take her to ask you for the recipe … finally!

How to prepare spaghetti with radicchio, prawns and burrata

Peel the beetroot, shake it and sift the pulp, so as to obtain 4 tablespoons of juice. Blend the burrata with a blender, heat it for 2 minutes, switching off well before you stir (at 70 ° C) and season with oil, salt and pepper. Blanch the prawn tails with a little oil and salt for 30 seconds, then cut them into bobbins. Clean and divide the radicchio into four wedges. Cook in a covered casserole over a low heat for 30 minutes with rice vinegar, a pinch of salt and beetroot juice. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water; drain them, add them to the radicchio and mix well.
