Spicy prawn penne

Hot and fiery!

 

Serves: 8


Ingredients

  • 500g penne pasta
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 100g onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • 10g garlic paste or fresh, peeled and chopped
  • 500ml tomato sauce (tin, tetra pak, home made)
  • 100ml fish stock
  • 5ml salt
  • 5g thyme, dried
  • 5g oregano
  • 5g white pepper
  • 5g ground black peppercorns
  • 5g hot paprika or cayenne pepper
  • 200ml Millac Gold

 

Method

  • Place the penne pasta into boiling salted water and cook for 15-17 minutes or until al dente. Drain and toss in additional olive oil to prevent sticking
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating oil in a suitable sized pan, add the onions and garlic and gently fry lightly until golden brown
  • Add the tomato sauce and spices and bring to the boil. Stir in the Millac Gold and simmer for 4-5 minutes to cook out the spices
  • Add the shrimps/prawns and cook until tender. Add more seasoning if desired and stir in the spinach to wilt
  • To serve, blend the shrimp/prawn sauce with the cooked penne and serve with a topping of grated parmesan cheese

 


Note:

This sauce is hot and fiery so to reduce the intensity, reduce the spice to 2.5ml (1/2tsp)
