Spaghetti with prawns
“Taking kitchen essentials with you streamlines holiday cooking.”
- About 450g spaghetti
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 24 small prawns, shelled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 small chilli or 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
Add whatever you have at hand. This recipe uses prawns - if you're by the sea, get some mussels, prawns or clams. Otherwise try it with pancetta or bacon and soft-cooked broccoli.
Method
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water.
Meanwhile, lightly toast breadcrumbs in a pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil, remove and set aside. Heat the pan again and add the rest of the oil and the prawns. Stir for a minute then add the garlic and chilli and continue to cook until the prawns are just cooked and the garlic is golden brown. Remove from heat, add the parsley and drained spaghetti and season. Toss until combined then add the breadcrumbs.
To serve
Serve with a drizzle more olive oil, if you like.
Serves 4.
