TUXEDO BOW-TIE PASTA WITH SHRIMP
Cuttlefish ink gives these handmade bow-ties a dramatic look and a rich, briny flavor that won't overwhelm the shrimp. Invest your time in making and shaping the dough, because the citrusy sauce is quick to come together and dresses this dish up with a bright acidity.

Steps:
- Dough: Stir together 1 cup "00" flour, 2 teaspoons warm water, and half of eggs (about 1/4 cup) in a medium bowl until a ragged dough forms (if too dry, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- In another medium bowl, vigorously whisk remaining half of eggs with cuttlefish ink and 1 teaspoon warm water to thoroughly combine. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour to bowl with cuttlefish mixture and mix until a ragged dough forms (if too dry, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Form each dough into a square disk, tightly wrap in plastic, and let stand 1 hour.
- Unwrap both doughs; place cuttlefish-ink dough on top of plain dough. On a floured surface, roll the stack of dough out to an 18-by-20-inch rectangle. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into 2-inch-long rectangles. Keep cut pasta covered with plastic wrap while you work.
- Working one at a time, pinch middle of each pasta rectangle with 2 fingers to create a bow-tie shape; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet generously dusted with semolina.
- Shrimp Sauce: In a small saucepan, bring shrimp shells and 2 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes; strain and discard shells. Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook until sizzling and fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomato paste; cook until caramelized, about 1 minute. Add shrimp broth and both citrus juices. Simmer until sauce is thickened and reduced to approximately 3/4 cup, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, 7 to 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain. Add pasta and 1/4 cup pasta water to sauce and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce clings evenly to pasta, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add shrimp, stirring just until cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. If pasta appears dry, right before serving stir in more pasta water a little at a time, just until sauce clings evenly to pasta again. Transfer to bowls, drizzle with oil, and serve.
LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA
This is my favorite way to make shrimp because using the marinade in the sauce carries the shrimp flavor through the entire dish. Wine, garlic and lemon are the main flavors, but with a slight kick. You can skip flouring the shrimp if you want, and go straight to frying them, but you might want to thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch. I like serving these with a nice juicy, grilled rib-eye, but it could also be a main dish. Prep time includes time to marinate shrimp.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl or large plastic zip-tip bag, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, add shrimp and let sit 20-30 minutes, stirring or flipping bag occasionally.
- When shrimp are almost done marinating, start cooking the pasta accoring to directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, combine flour and paprika (if using) on a large plate or in a large plastic zip-top bag, lightly coat shrimp with flour mixture.
- Reserve the marinade.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (The flour coating may not be crispy, but that okay, most of it will come off of the shrimp and thicken the pasta sauce.).
- Set cooked shrimp aside.
- Add butter and marinade to pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return shrimp to pan, stir well, reduce heat to medium, and add milk.
- Stirring well, cook about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. (If you don't use the flour, you may want to thicken now with a cornstarch and water mixture).
- Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir to combine.
- Add cooked pasta and stir well to completely coat with sauce.
- Serve hot.

With chicken and veggies, this pasta medley in a mild lemon and wine sauce is a complete meal in one that's a snap to assemble. I try to keep leftover chicken or turkey on hand so that I can fix this dish whenever I want. -Jackie Hannahs, Fountain, Michigan
