Charred Tomato & Garlic Prawn Pasta Recipe

Cook the Spaghetti

Boil a pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Char the Tomatoes

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they are blistered and charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté Garlic and Prawns

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the prawns and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Add the charred tomatoes back to the skillet along with the white wine and chili flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in the cooked spaghetti and arugula, tossing to combine. Season with truffle salt to taste.

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Toast the Baguette

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, spread the garlic butter mixture on each half, and toast in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes until golden.
