Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 100ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra
  • Spaghetti: 400g spaghetti
  • Rocket: 2x50g bags wild rocket
  • Chilli: 2 long red chillies
  • Prawn: 200g bag frozen, shelled cooked prawn, defrosted

Directions

  1. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to pack instructions.
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, split the chillies down the centre lengthways. Using a teaspoon and starting at the top, scoop the seeds from the flesh - add these if you like your food hot. Using a sharp knife, cut the chillies in thin strips, bundle them together and cut across to make squares.
  3. Drain the spaghetti, toss with a drizzling of olive oil and set aside. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or saute pan over a high heat and add the prawns. Stir in the chillies, season, then add the spaghetti. Remove from the heat, fold through the rocket and stir.
