ingredients

  • 200 grams gluten-free spaghetti
  • 400 grams prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 250 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Birds Eye Chilli Sauce sauce
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon, plus extra for serving
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and set aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat two tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the prawns with salt and pepper until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil, garlic, and Hot Toddy Birds Eye Chilli. Sauté for a minute.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan, tossing well and adding a splash of pasta water if needed.
  6. Return the prawns to the pan, add lemon juice and zest, and toss gently.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter until it melts and coats the pasta.
  8. Season with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  9. Serve garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan if desired.
  10. This final touch of butter adds a luxurious texture to the spaghetti. At the same time, the extra squeeze of lemon brightens up the overall flavour profile, making this dish a true celebration of summer flavours. Enjoy your culinary creation!
