- 45 g Spaghetti
- 220 g Shrimp
- 120 g Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Chili (optional)
- 8 g Parsley (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Halve the tomatoes, slice the garlic, ring the chilli, blot the prawns dry and chop the parsley.
- Warm the olive oil with the garlic and chilli until the garlic goes pale gold, then add the tomatoes cut-side down and leave them four minutes until they collapse.
- Slide the prawns in for ninety seconds a side, until they curl and go opaque, then kill the heat.
- Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until it still has a firm centre, about eight minutes, then drain it, saving a ladleful of the water.
- Toss the pasta through the pan with a splash of the water until the sauce clings to every strand, then scatter the parsley.
