Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 400 g (14 oz) tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 fresh red chilli deseeded (optional) and finely chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 300 g (10.6 oz) dried spaghetti or linguine
  • 350 g (12.3 oz) 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.

  • This spaghetti with prawns, tomatoes, garlic and chilli recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
