Preparation – step by step recipe
-
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the pan over medium heat so it reaches the right temperature.
-
Add a splash of oil and sauté the scampi until just pink. Remove them from the pan to keep them tender.
-
In the same pan, sauté the garlic. Add the cherry tomatoes and let them soften. Sprinkle in the curry powder and cook briefly to release its aromas.
-
Pour in the cream or stir in the mascarpone. Let the sauce gently thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Return the scampi to the pan, add the pasta, and toss until everything is evenly coated in the creamy curry sauce.
-
Finish with fresh herbs for a touch of freshness.
Serve straight from the pan. A final twist of black pepper finishes the dish.
This pasta is ideal for busy weeknights when you want something warm and comforting without spending hours in the kitchen. It works just as well for a relaxed weekend meal with family or friends.
