Spring shells

Spring shells recipe

We had left for a spring risotto, after our return from the market. Only organic and regional products. When it was time to prepare our meal, I realized that I no longer had Arborio rice to make my dish. That’s why we made these Spring Coquillettes. As at home everyone is greedy, for once nobody had anything to complain about. I had kept all of my vegetable cooking water to cook my pasta, which gave my Spring Coquillettes a slightly special flavor. With these beautiful spring colors, when the Spring Coquillettes hit the table, everyone was already mouth watering. I took the precaution of cooking all the vegetables individually in order to respect the cooking, each vegetable was still barely crunchy. It was the last day of Florence in Savoy, impossible not to stand out for lunch.
