Spaghetti with Prawns and Rocket

Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 2 | Dairy Free

Ingredients 

  • 200g spaghetti 

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced 

  • 1 red chilli, finely sliced  

  • 8 peeled raw prawns

  • 60ml white wine

  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped  

  • Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon 

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 large handful rocket 

Method

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente (just shy of the time suggestion on the packet). Set aside ~½ cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and chilli, stirring occasionally, until fragrant; approximately 2 minutes. Next, add the prawns and sauté for another minute. Finally, add the white wine, lemon juice and sun-dried tomatoes, and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then reduce to medium-low heat.

Step 3: Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer straight to the frypan. Stir to combine, ensuring the sauce coats the pasta. Add the rocket and some pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Divide between two plates and garnish with lemon zest, then serve.
