Background

This is a recipe that chef Filippa made for us at her restaurant in Messina. Her daughter came up with the idea to wrap the king prawns in spaghetti, they loved how it tasted and have been making it ever since. Of course she lives right on the coast of Sicily and has the best of the fresh catch to cook everyday.

Video

Chef Filippa says in the video that Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the oil that can heat to the highest temperature without becoming toxic and that's why Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is perfect for this recipe. We checked out her claims with the OliveOil Times, you can read it here for yourself.

Great product!

Papa Vince olive oils is the only olive oils I will ever use. I found Papa Vince a few years ago and have never been disappointed nor do I worry about what is in it and/or what isn’t. The smell is wonderful but the taste is amazing. I also love their balsamic, delicious!

Pure taste - see & feel the health benefits❣️

I started using Papa Vince in June ‘22 because the EVOO came in small bottles for travel. I was doing a Whole30 at that time because I was having gut issues & my hair/skin/nails were dull. I’ve been using PapaVince EVOOs ever since & have never felt healthier! There is something to be learned by eliminating free radicals & consuming pure & natural. My nails used to be ridged/thin/brittle & now they are strong! I’m in my 50s & my hair & nails haven’t been this healthy since I was pregnant in my 20s! Heading out again for vacation with my small travel EVOO & balsamic - just clear polish on the toes & fingers. My gut issues are resolved too - thinking my ‘insides’ have benefitted as much as my hair/skin/nails!

BEST COFFEE EVER

I have tried many coffees in my lifed, whith my favorite being The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, then I tried Papa Vince Coffee and it was love at first sip. Papa Vince never ceases to amaze me and outdo themselves over and again. I tend to give them as gifts and suddenly people think of me as a health expert. I know this guy who literally wants to give me different brands of olive oil to try and say what i think. I always tell him that the only products I trust are of Papa Vince. I can hardly wait util Spring to fill up on Papa Vince's original coffee that is currently sold out. Thank you, Vitina, for making your Papa's dream come true.

Deliciously Soaks Up the Sauce

Digestive issues led me to "gluten intolerance", but I know it is the Round-Up, not the wheat. Papa Vince's pastas are easy for me to digest without horrible after effects.

Excellent

These products, the pasta (or macaroni as folks called it in my childhood), the tomato Sauce, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, really everything, are foods you can get nowhere else. It is a dream, ancient grain NOT enriched by added substances or genetically modified. You must eat it to experience how well you will feel versus ordinary foods so universally altered. Mangiare - you will be happy!
