Spaghetti with Prawns, Tomatoes, Garlic and Chilli
Pasta with prawns and a deliciously spicy tomato sauce that's full of flavour - yum!
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 fresh red chilli deseeded (optional) and finely chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 300g dried spaghetti or linguine
- 350g raw peeled prawns
- 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley roughly chopped, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil and the garlic in a medium saucepan over a medium to low heat. Cook the garlic until just beginning to colour (approx. 2 to 2.5 minutes). Add the tin of tomatoes and chopped chilli. Bring to the boil, then simmer over a medium to low heat for 30 minutes until the oil separates from the tomatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Halfway through the cooking of the tomato sauce, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, drain and return to the pan.
- Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2 minutes until pink. Add the prawns to the tomato sauce, and simmer over a low heat until bubbling.
- Now add the pasta and stir to mix well. Divide between warm pasta bowls, garnished with chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy.
