Prawn pasta with tomato, chilli and basil🍝🍝

-Prawn pasta with tomato, chili, and basil is a flavorful and satisfying Italian-inspired dish that combines succulent prawns with a zesty tomato sauce, a hint of heat from chili peppers, and the aromatic freshness of basil.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
150g baby plum tomatoes
150ml white wine
200g spaghetti
basil, a handful of leaves
225g raw peeled prawns
a generous k**b butter

Directions:

-Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and chilli flakes, and cook gently for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften. Tip in the wine and simmer for 5 minutes.

-Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until just tender then drain, reserving a cup of water.

-Stir the basil and the prawns into the tomatoes, season well, and cook until the prawns turn pink. Stir in the butter and spaghetti with a splash of the cooking water to loosen the sauce, toss and serve.
