Instructions

  • Cook 150 g Linguine according to the packet instructions - normally 8-10 minutes.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon Olive oil and add 180 g King prawns. Season with 1 pinch Sea salt and 1 pinch Ground black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes and then set aside.
  • To the same pan, add 2 Shallots, 2 Garlic cloves and 0.5 teaspoon Red chilli flakes. Cook on a low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add 400 g Chopped tomatoes, 4 Sun-dried tomatoes and continue to cook for 4 minutes.
  • Add 30 g Watercress, rocket (arugula) and spinach mix, 5 g Fresh parsley and the juice of 0.25 Lemon. Stir until the leaves have wilted.
  • Drain the linguine, reserving 50ml/0.25 cup of the pasta water.
  • Add the linguine, pasta water and cooked prawns to the sauce and toss until the pasta and prawns are coated. Serve with more parsley.

Notes

  • Use the freshest prawns available for the best flavour. If using frozen prawns, thaw them thoroughly and pat them dry before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of chilli to your taste. For extra heat, add diced fresh chillies and leave the seeds in.
  • Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the sauce.
  • For an extra rich sauce, add a splash or red or dry white wine to the sauce.
  • You couldn't usually put cheese on a fish pasta dish, however you could grate some parmesan cheese over before serving if you like.
  • Add a little splash of the pasta water to the sauce to loosen it up a little and make it silky smooth.
