This spaghetti with prawns, tomatoes, garlic and chilli recipe is quick to prepare, and reasonably quick to cook. While the tomato sauce is simmering you can go off and do something else...set the table, wash up any dishes etc!
It's a pretty simple dish to pull together, but sometimes simple is best. The tomato sauce is pretty spicy hot, especially if you leave the seeds in the chilli (I did!), but it's full of flavour and we really enjoy it.
Tip
