Prawn Linguine

I’m not a confident cook but I am learning a few basic dishes which I enjoy making for my family at home. This is one of my favourites.

Ingredients:

Prawns

Linguine

Baby Capers

Garlic

Cherry Tomatoes

Parsley

Lemon

EVO

Add pasta to a large pan of boiling water with plenty of salt and cook until al dente. Half the tomatoes and squeeze out and discard the seeds and set aside.. Smash the garlic in their skins to release the flavour and sauté in a good amount of olive oil, once the garlic has softened and browned remove from the pan. Add the tomatoes to the frying pan and allow them to break down in the oil before adding the capers. Once the tomatoes have reduced cook the prawns in the flavoured oil. Drain the pasta (retaining a little of the starchy water) and stir through into the prawns. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a little of the pasta water and chopped parsley. Season to taste and serve.
