Ingredients for the Dough

  • 400 g flour
  • 3 large carrots, boiled
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt

Dough Preparation

  1. Peel and chop the carrots, then boil them until very soft. Drain, pat them dry with a paper towel, blend until smooth, and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, make a well in the center, and add the eggs, salt, and pureed carrots.
  3. Knead everything together for about 10 minutes until a soft dough forms. Since carrots hold moisture, you may need to add a bit more flour.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or pasta machine, and cut it into your desired shapes.

Ingredients for the Pasta

  • 300 g fresh pasta
  • Salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Pasta Cooking Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add the pasta and cook until it floats to the surface, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  3. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Ingredients for the Shrimp

  • 300 g shrimp
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Sweet paprika
  • 50 ml water
  • Olive oil

Shrimp Preparation

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic.
  2. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, and sauté together for 2 minutes.
  3. Add water, salt, pepper, and paprika, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Finally, add the shrimp and basil, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

This dish of fresh carrot pasta paired with succulent shrimp in a rich tomato-basil sauce is a perfect balance of sweetness and zest—a delightful, colorful Mediterranean-inspired meal. Enjoy!
