Spaghettoni with cheese, pepper and prawns they are an innovative and gourmet recipe. Innovation begins right from the choice of pasta. A double format goes very well with the thick and full-bodied cream that we will make you realize. Mediterranean prawns are famous for their flavour. As soon as they are seared they will give to the first person a delicate note, in contrast to the more pungent one of pecorino accompanied by pepper. The perfect addition to this classic Roman recipe. We recommend using a fresh pasta like that of Gragnano, for an excellent result.
