Macarronada, a dish that traces back to São Paulo's Italian immigrant kitchens, is made here with shrimp and a cream-free tomato sauce. Pulling the shrimp off the heat at the right moment takes skill, resulting in a light main course kept low in fat.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

10 min

Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time stated on the package, then drain.

2

Cook the shrimp

3 min

Sauté the garlic cloves briefly in a portion of the olive oil, add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes, then immediately transfer to a plate.

3

Make the sauce

10 min

In the same pan, sauté the onion in the remaining olive oil, add the grated tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes.

4

Combine

5 min

Toss the drained pasta and shrimp with the sauce and finish with the pepper flakes, salt and lemon juice.

5

Serve

2 min

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Reminder

Don't cook the shrimp for more than 3 minutes; overcooking leaves them rubbery. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and shellfish (shrimp).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Finishing with hot sauce instead of pepper flakes gets you closer to the sharpness of Brazil's malagueta pepper; in that case I would reduce the salt slightly.
