Steps:

CREAMY PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• I like to use a wok to make this dish, just because you can use it easily to serve up by bringing it to the table. Then everybody can help themselves to however much they want. You will also need a sieve for this recipe.
• First, defrost the prawns. I put the frozen prawns in a bowl and cover with luke warm water to defrost them.
• Then boil a pan of water and cook the pasta for 10 minutes. I always add a few drops of olive oil to the pasta when I am boiling it. When the pasta is ready, remove and drain in the sieve. Keep some pasta water in a cup in case you need to water down the sauce later.
• In the meantime prepare the garlic and other ingredients.
• Sieve the prawns until all the water has dripped off. Squeeze them by hand to remove any excess water.
• Then cover them with lemon juice. Then fry the prawns in 1 tbsp of butter in the wok, turning until they are cooked on both sides. Remove the prawns to a plate (including any liquid that may be present).
• Then fry the garlic in another tablespoon of butter in the wok for about 1 minute. Then add the wine, bring to the boil and simmer until the wine is reduced.
• Add the cream, stock and cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and then add the parmesan and continue stirring. The sauce should start to thicken now.
• Then add the prawns (and liquid) back to the pan, followed by the linguine. Now stir well so that the pasta gets well covered by the sauce. The longer you keep stirring it the thicker the sauce will get.
• Now add the parsley and black pepper and stir until the consistency is as you want it. If you need more juice then add some of the pasta water you kept earlier.
• When it is all well mixed and the sauce is as you like it, it is ready to serve up.

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring to boil a large pot of water. Add pasta and cook per packet MINUS 1 minute. (Note 5).
• Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add prawns and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Remove prawns.
• In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter. Once melted, add garlic. Stir for 20 seconds until fragrant.
• Add wine and stir. Simmer for 2 minutes until wine mostly reduces (see video).
• Add cream, broth and parmesan. Stir until the parmesan is melted, then leave to simmer for 1 1/2 minutes until it thickens slightly (will thicken more in next step).
• Add prawns, stir, then add pasta plus about 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water. Toss pasta (still on stove) and the sauce will thicken in about 30 - 45 seconds and start clinging to the pasta.
• Take it off the stove before the sauce is as thick as you want - it will thicken more.
• Sprinkle with most of the parsley and black pepper, check salt (I don't need more). Toss again until the sauce consistency is to your taste. Add a tiny splash of pasta water if it gets too gluggy.
• Serve immediately, garnished with remaining parsley and parmesan if desired.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC BUTTER PRAWNS

Steps:

• Boil the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, very gently cook the garlic in the butter in a medium pan until softened. Add the prawns and cook until they just turn from grey to pink. It is important not to overcook them or they will be tough. Remove from the heat and stir in the zest and seasoning.
• Drain the pasta and toss into the pan with the prawn mixture and parsley until well mixed. Divide between two bowls and serve with the lemon wedges.

CREAMY PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic. Run your knife down the back of 2 prawns, so they'll butterfly as they cook, then finely chop the rest.
• Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Finely slice the pancetta, sprinkle into the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry until lightly golden. Toss in the garlic and whole prawns for 2 minutes, then go in with the wine and let it cook away. Toss through the chopped prawns and mascarpone for 1 minute, then use tongs to drag the pasta straight into the pan, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it. Roughly chop the rocket, add most of it to the pan and toss it all together over the heat until you have a silky sauce. Subtly season to perfection with the Parmesan and black pepper. Serve sprinkled with the remaining rocket and an extra grating of Parmesan, if you like.

CREAMY GARLIC SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
• Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
• The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
• Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
• Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.

• Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
• Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
