Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil
300g ripe mixed tomatoes, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 tsp chilli flakes
100g dried spaghetti
300g green King prawns, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbs grated parmesan, plus extra, to serve

Method

Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook down for around 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and chilli. When the pasta is al dente, use tongs to bring the spaghetti from the water to the pan; dragging in some of the pasta water.
Spoon in some more pasta water to emulsify. Add prawns, and through the parmesan.
Toss together and finish with a little more olive oil and a little more pasta water to loosen, season with salt and serve with more parmesan.
