Ingredients for PRAWN SPAGHETTIS :

1 small onion diced

1 diced red chilli (seeds optional)

1 garlic clove sliced

zest of 1 lemon

50 gr capers in brine

150 gr crayfish tails (cooked). 150 grams is around a good handful. Use king prawns if you cant source crayfish. hold back a few pieces for garnishing.

200 ml passata

25 gr chopped parsley. Hold back a pinch for garnishing.

1 tbspn sugar

150 gr spaghetti (uncooked weight)

Execution :

PRAWN SPAGHETTIS instructions :

1. Begin by boiling the pasta in a sturdy saucepan. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes. Times can vary acording to the thickness of the pasta.

2. In the meantime dice your onion, parsley, chilli and garlic. Take a grater or microplane and grate the zest from your lemon ensuring to leave the white pith on the lemon. We are just looking for the yellow rind nothing else.

3. In a large saucepan or wok style pan heat up some oil and begin to fry your onion, chilli, garlic and lemon zest. When the onion and chilli begin to soften add your capers (including brine) and crayfish cook for a further minute or so. You are adding these ingredients now to give the dish a greater intensity and depth when eating. The crayfish will shrink back in size and it is perfectly acceptable to add it later if you prefer.

4 . Now add your passata stir into the pan and bring to the boil, adding also the chopped parsley and sugar. At this point you can season with salt and pepper to your personal taste.

5. Finally add your pasta to the sauce and stir thoroughly so the sauce grabs the prawn spaghettis evenly. Garnish with some parsley and a few crayfish tails.

NOTE: If your prawn spaghettis are not quite cooked, take your sauce off the heat until the prawn spaghettis cooked

Serves 2 kids or 1 hungry adult. Multiply your ingredients as necessary for a larger family serving.
