Method

  • step 1

    Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to pack instructions.

  • step 2

    While the spaghetti is cooking, split the chillies down the centre lengthways. Using a teaspoon and starting at the top, scoop the seeds from the flesh - add these if you like your food hot. Using a sharp knife, cut the chillies in thin strips, bundle them together and cut across to make squares.

  • step 3

    Drain the spaghetti, toss with a drizzling of olive oil and set aside. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or sauté pan over a high heat and add the prawns. Stir in the chillies, season, then add the spaghetti. Remove from the heat, fold through the rocket and stir.

RECIPE TIPS
GIVE IT A TWIST

This can also be made with canned crabmeat. Simply heat the chillies in the oil for a minute, then flake the crabmeat through the spaghetti as you mix it in with the chilli oil.

It was personally a bit dry for me.

An almost perfect quick and easy meal - ready in minutes. I added lemon juice and lots of black pepper and grated some parmesan on top. Delicious with tinned tuna as well (I used tuna in spring water). Next time I'm going to add sunblush tomatoes and possibly some poached salmon.

Use garlic oil and be generous with the salt as I do and this is a really delicious, fresh quick and easy meal. Filling and yummy.

I loved Ralph the Dog's comment. I marinated the prawns first in garlic, chilli, lemon, juice and oil. It was lovely!

The Nigella Lawson Spaghettini with Prawns is similar to this but much much tastier.
