Are you on the road and do you have your MiniMax with you? If so, it goes without saying that you can make a fully-fledged meal on this Big Green Egg. How about a delicious pasta with pepper sauce and king prawns? You can make it quickly and easily, at the campsite or at home, in your MiniMax or on the Large. Once the pasta is cooked, you only need the Cast Iron Skillet Small, in addition to the convEGGtor, to cook the pasta dish in your kamado. So, this delicious pasta recipe is actually a one-pan dish from the Big Green Egg.
INGREDIENTS
Pasta
- 500 g conchiglioni rigati n° 126 (pasta shells)
- 200 g grated Parmesan cheese
Sauce
- 2 red onions
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 8 cloves of fresh garlic
- 24 peeled king prawns (size 16/20)
- 100 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- 1 tsp madras curry powder
- 300 ml passata
IN ADVANCE
- Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and, using the Stainless Steel Grid, bring to a temperature of 200°C. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.
- For the sauce, peel the red onions and roughly chop them. Halve the peppers, remove the stems and seeds and cut into coarse pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Halve the king prawns lengthwise.
PREPARATION
- Heat the olive oil in the Cast Iron Skillet Small on the grill. Add the onion, pepper, paprika and curry powder and fry for 2-3 minutes. Mix the garlic into the pepper mixture and fry for 2-3 minutes again. Finally, pour the passata into the skillet and reduce for 2-3 minutes. Close the lid of the EGG after each action.
- Remove the skillet from the EGG. Remove the grid, insert the convEGGtor and replace the grid. Raise the temperature of the EGG to 190°C.
- Mix the sauce into the cooked pasta. Spoon in the king prawns and spread the pasta over the skillet. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, place the skillet on the grill and close the lid of the EGG. Bake the pasta dish for about 20 minutes until it reaches a core temperature of 75°C; you can measure this with the Instant Read Thermometer. You must measure the core temperature because you added raw king prawns to the pasta.
- Remove the skillet from the EGG and serve immediately.
