sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

320g dried pasta shells

4 cloves of garlic

1 fresh red chilli

olive oil

200g frozen peeled cooked prawns

200g frozen peas

1 heaped tablespoon tomato purée

30g Parmesan cheese

 

 

Fill and boil the kettle.

 

Carefully fill a large pot three-quarters of the way

up with boiling water, add a tiny pinch of salt and

bring back to the boil.

 

Add the pasta shells and cook according to packet

instructions – you want to cook your pasta until

it is al dente. This translates as ‘to the tooth’ and

means that it should be soft enough to eat, but

still have a bit of a bite and firmness to it. Use the

timings on the packet instructions as a guide, but

try some just before the time is up to make sure

it’s perfectly cooked. Meanwhile...

 

On a chopping board, peel and finely chop the

garlic.

 

Carefully slice the chilli in half lengthways, hold

the stalk-end of each half steady, then run a

teaspoon down the cut sides to scoop out the

seeds and white pith, then finely slice it.

 

Place a large frying pan on a medium heat and add

2 tablespoons of olive oil.

 

Carefully add the garlic and chilli and fry for

1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly golden, stirring

occasionally.

 

Stir in the prawns, peas and tomato purée.

 

Use a ladle to scoop out and add a little boiling

water from the pasta pan, then give it all a good

stir.

 

Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until

the pasta is ready.

 

Once the pasta is done, ladle out and reserve a

mug of the cooking water and keep it to one side,

then drain in a colander over the sink and tip the

pasta back into the pot.

Use a microplane to grate the Parmesan onto a

board.

 

Season the sauce to taste, then stir the pasta into

the sauce, adding a splash of the pasta water to

loosen, if needed.

 

Add the Parmesan and mix everything together.

 

Divide between your bowls and serve right away.
