Saffron Strozzapreti with Prawns and Zucchini
Strozzapreti translates to “Priest Choker”, I’ll let your imagination run with it.
I grew up being told different legends about the “Priest Chokers”. One of my favourites is
following Sunday mass, it was common for the priest to visit homes of the villagers and enjoy dinner with them. The more pleasant experiences for the priest would entice them to come back to that particular home more frequently. As a means for the family to let the priest know that he might be overextending his welcome, they would serve this pasta which had later earned the name "Strozzapreti."
