Prawn Spaghettini Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Spaghettini

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the spaghettini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Prawns

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the prawns and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   Pour in the smoky tomato sauce into the skillet with the prawns. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine with Spaghettini

   Add the cooked spaghettini to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the sauce and prawns. Stir in chopped fresh basil and adjust seasoning if necessary.

5. 5

   Prepare the Crostini

   While the pasta is cooking, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the bread slices with the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the prawn spaghettini hot, garnished with extra basil if desired, alongside the garlic crostini.
