Pasta a la Marinera

You will need (for 2 persons):

• 250 gr pasta (I like to use tagiatelli or spaghetti, but can be done with any pasta)
• 3 tomatoes (finely chopped)
  
• Provencal herbs q.b.
• shrimps (150gr, peeled)
• crab sticks (±150gr)
• garlic (3 smashed garlic cloves)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt

How to:

1. Cook the pasta al dente. While the pasta is cooking:
   
2. Add the olive oil, the shrimps and the garlic in a non-stick pan and cook until the shrimps are close to crispy.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and salt, stir well, cover and sweat for 5 minutes or until softened.
4. Add the Provencal herbs and the crab sticks and let cook for another minute.
5. Add the sauce to the drained pasta and cook for a minute in low temperature while mixing them gently.

If you are a cheese fan you can add it in the plate after serving the pasta. I usually use a mixture of Emmental and Mozarella.

Natas do Céu

This is one of the easiest desserts I know. It is great when you have to cook for a lot of people: it can done in advance and there is no problem in freezing it.

You will need:

• Cream (3 paks of 200 or 250 ml)

Then:

1. Immerse the sheets of gelatine in cold water
2. Whip the cream until it reaches a good consistency
   
3. Take the gelatine sheets out of the cold water and dissolve them in a small quantity of hot water
   
4. Incorporate the condensed milk and the gelatine into the whipped cream
5. Grind the cookies
6. In a bowl, make three layers aletrnating the cream and the cookies (starting with the cookies)
7. Put in the fridge for at least 1h30m
