Mammoth Prawn Pasta

    Prawns (larger and fresher the better)
-            Chopped/torn Basil (fresh)
G     Garlic
-           Tomatoes
-           Olive oil
-           Fresh spaghetti
-           Cracked pepper
Marinate the prawnies overnight in some beautiful olive oil, cracked pepper, little lemon juice (optional, if you haven't got time – it’s delish without marinating them too).

In boiling water, blanche the tomatoes + peel.
Fry garlic in olive oil.
Dice into bite size pieces.
Put prawnies in with garlic and oil for a short while until cooked. Gently stir in diced tomato and leave in until tomato is heated (not long or tomatoes go soggy).
When heated, take off heat + stir in basil (keep some to garnish).
Garnish with basil

A bit of murray salt is an essential accompaniment. Fresh fetta is an optional extra you can sprinkle on at the end.
