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.
