- Set aside the pulp, take the heads and claws (did you know that they are called shells ??) and sauté for a minute in a pan.
- At this point, add the vegetables (carrot, celery and leek), half liter of water and salt it in order to make a flavorful broth.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente (Reginette recommended) and finish your cooking in the scampi fumet (broth for us mortals).
- Add the juice of half a lemon, extra virgin olive oil and turn off the heat .
- Add the pulp tails cut ragout to the pasta... and serve! Buon Appetito!
