Prawns with Handkerchief Pasta

  1. Warm a wide, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  2. Season both sides of shrimp with salt and pepper.
  3. When oil is hot, add as many shrimp to the pan as will fit and cook just until shrimp turn bright pink and opaque.
  4. Remove shrimp from pan immediately; do not overcook.
  5. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  6. Remove shrimp heads and reserve both bodies and heads.
  7. Do not rinse pan.
  8. In a blender, combine shrimp heads (substitute 3 shrimp if youve used headless shrimp) with wine.
  9. Pass puree through a fine mesh strainer.
  10. Discard solids and reserve liquid.
  11. Over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same saute pan in which youve cooked the shrimp.
  12. Add coriander and, stirring continuously to prevent burning, saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

  17. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  18. Keep over lowest heat.
  19. Add lasagna squares to boiling water and cook until al dente, following manufacturers timing guidelines.
  20. Remove pot from heat, add spinach, and steep for 30 seconds.
  21. Drain and add to saute pan along with shrimp.
  22. Gently toss all ingredients together and warm through, about 2 minutes.
