Steps:

Boil a kettle and pour water into a large pot over a high temperature. Add a good pinch of salt and add your pasta. While the pasta is cooking, heat your olive oil in a large pan. Throw in your cherry tomatoes and cook for three minutes stirring constantly. Add your prawns, garlic, chilli, lemon zest, half of your lemon juice and the capers. Cook until prawns have turned a lovely orange colour.
When your pasta is aldenté, take it straight from the pot using tongs and add it to the pan with the prawns and tomatoes. Lower the heat of the pan so it stays warm but will not burn the ingredients while you toss it all together with the remainder or the lemon juice and a good lug of olive oil.
Serve with torn basil leaves and freshly grated parmesan.

Prawn Pasta With Garlic and Chilli image

Provided by Snowbunny Andorra

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

200 g linguine
100 ml olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
40 g cured ham, sliced
2 small red chilies, finely chopped
200 ml white wine
400 g raw prawns
1 small handful fresh basil, chopped
25 g fresh parmesan cheese, sliced
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pan of well-salted oil to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
Meanwhile, put the olive oil, garlic and chilli in a saute pan and heat slowly until it just starts to sizzle. This ensures that the oil gets infused with the garlic and chilli flavour, rather than just burning.
Add the wine to the pan and reduce the heat. Reduce slightly.
In a separate pan, dry-fry the cured ham until crispy (or do it under the grill).
Just before the pasta is ready, add the prawns to the garlic and chilli mix and stir until pink.
Drain the linguine, reserving a little of the water and add the pasta to the prawn mix. Stir well to coat. If necessary, use a little of the pasta water.
Turn off the heat and stir through the basil, Parmesan and ham.
Season and serve immediately.
