Prawns and Roasted Fennel Ditalini

Ingredients for Prawns and Roasted Fennel Ditalini

• 450g (16 to 20) extra large prawns, shells intact, thawed if frozen

• 1 colher de chá de sementes de erva-doce

• 1 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt, divided

• 1 fennel bulb, halved and sliced crosswise (chopped fronds for garnish, optional)

• 4 dentes de alho, picados

• 2 colheres de sopa de azeite de oliva

• 1/2 colher de chá de pimenta-do-reino moída na hora

• Grated zest of 1 lemon (1 julienned strip for garnish, optional)

• 230g whole-wheat ditalini

Heat oven to 232°C. Shell prawns, but keep tails intact, if desired; reserve shells. In a small pan over medium heat, toast fennel seeds until golden brown, 5 minutes; crush. In a bowl, toss prawns with fennel seeds. In same pan, bring 240ml water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoons salt and reserved shells; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes. Remove and discard shells; simmer until stock reduces by half, 5 minutes. In a roasting pan, place sliced fennel, garlic, oil, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt; toss. Roast until fennel is tender, 20 minutes. Stir in prawns, stock and zest; roast until prawns are just cooked through, 5 minutes. Cook pasta as directed on package until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 240ml cooking liquid. Add pasta to roasting pan; roast until pasta is completely cooked, adding reserved liquid a little at a time and stirring to reach desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve garnished with julienned zest and fennel fronds, if desired.
