Ingredients
- 300 g Spaghetti
- 2 cloves garlic finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes (or more if you like things hot!)
- 450 g raw peeled jumbo king prawns (defrost first, if frozen)
- 100 ml white wine
- 150 g passata
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 60 g Rocket (arugula)
Instructions
- First, cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions / your own preferences.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, peel and finely slice the 2 garlic cloves. Put the olive oil into a wide and reasonably deep saucepan, together with the garlic and dried chillies and fry on a very low heat for 2 minutes. Do not allow the garlic to burn!
- Add the raw prawns and fry for a further 2 minutes turning once to ensure they go pink on both sides. (See Note 1.)
- Add the wine and turn up the heat. Allow to bubble for 1 minute, then add the passata and some salt and pepper and bubble away for 2 more minutes.
- Add the juice of half a lemon (having first zested the lemon - it’s nigh on impossible to do afterwards!) and turn the heat off.
- Check the spaghetti. It should be just about done by now. Drain and add to the sauce and mix together.
- Finally add a good handful of rocket (arugula) to the spaghetti and mix again. Serve with a handful of rocket on top as a garnish and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Notes
- If you have pre-cooked prawns I would add them in a bit later to avoid over cooking them, probably at the same time as the passata and then continue as above.
- Not suitable for freezing.
