Spaghetti a Gamberetti

A signature dish - yummy!

I love cooking. It’s how I switch off. Last night i made what is probably my signature dish – spaghetti a gamberetti.

Ingredients:

Spaghetti

King prawns

Red chilies

Sun-dried tomatoes

Garlic

Lemon

White wine

Rocket

Method:

Boil the spaghetti. Finely chop a few clioves of garlic and de-seeded chilies. Juice and zest a lemon. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a blender for a few mins.

Add some extra virgin olive oil to a large oan and gently fry the garlic and chilies. After a minute or two add the prawns and gently fry untlil they turn pink.

Add the wine (about a glass) and the sun-dried tomato paste and simmer for a fdew minutes.

Meanwhile drain the spaghetti and add to the pan. Turn off the heat throw in some roughly chopped rocket, lemon juice and zest. Mix it through a little before serving.

I like to use a Pinot Grigio with this dish – it also goes down rather nicely with it. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Bon appetito!

I must admit my partner, Emma, loves this dish. We’ve some fond memories of candle-lit dinners in the kitchen – very romantic.
