Prawn and Spinach Pasta
Description
Prawn and Spinach Pasta involves cooking spaghetti according to package directions until al dente before draining. Olive oil is heated and infused with finely chopped garlic and red chili pepper, releasing aromatic flavors. Peeled and chopped king prawns are sautéed in this oil until they turn pink and firm.
Chopped tomatoes and fresh baby spinach are then added to the pan to lightly cook, wilt the greens, and slightly soften the tomatoes while preserving their brightness. The drained pasta is tossed into the pan to combine with the sauce, seasoning with black pepper.
Finally, grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top to add richness and depth. The pasta is served hot, offering contrasting textures of tender noodles, juicy prawns, and soft yet vibrant vegetables with a mild heat from the chili.
