So what you need for this supper is really simple:
Pasta
Any type, but here we’ve used spaghetti and also we’ve used tagliatelle
Peeled raw prawns

Garlic & Chilli
Garlic for flavour, chilli for heat – as much or little as you like
Sun-dried Tomato paste
Available from any supermarket and it packs a punch flavour wise
Lemon juice
For freshness and for zing
Rocket
For peppery flavour, fibre and colour
Salt pepper and Olive oil!
For seasoning and texture
