Rocket Chilli Spaghetti Food

SPAGHETTI WITH PRAWNS, CHILLI & ROCKET

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to pack instructions.
• While the spaghetti is cooking, split the chillies down the centre lengthways. Using a teaspoon and starting at the top, scoop the seeds from the flesh - add these if you like your food hot. Using a sharp knife, cut the chillies in thin strips, bundle them together and cut across to make squares.
• Drain the spaghetti, toss with a drizzling of olive oil and set aside. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or sauté pan over a high heat and add the prawns. Stir in the chillies, season, then add the spaghetti. Remove from the heat, fold through the rocket and stir.

WILD ROCKET AND CHILLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
• Prepare the sauce by gently heating a little olive oil then add the garlic, chilli, and anchovies. Add the wild rocket, toss and add the lemon zest. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice.
• Drain the spaghetti then toss it with the sauce, taste and season if needed. Place on a plate and pile the extra handful of wild rocket on top with a good sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

ROCKET & CHILLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat a wide saucepan or frying pan over a medium heat and add half the extra virgin olive oil.
• Add the garlic, chilli and capers and fry gently for a minute or so. Add 2 handfuls of the rocket, the lemon zest and a good squeeze from half the lemon (you dont need all of it)and add half of the nutrional yeast, then remove from the heat. The rocket will wilt from the heat - mix it well with the garlic, chilli and capers.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water, according to the packet instructions, and drain.
• Toss together with the rocket and chilli sauce.
• Season well with salt and pepper and serve with some of the reserved fresh rocket with more nutritional yeast and olive oil on top.

ROCKET AND CHILLI LINGUINE

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook linguine until al dente.
• Heat the oil and add the chile, garlic and lemon zest.
• Cook for one minute on a moderate heat.
• Add lemon juice and basil allowing it to wilt.
• Stir in pasta and season if required.

TUNA, CAPER & CHILLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti for 9-11 mins in a large pan of well-salted water until al dente.
• Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a very low heat, and gently cook the garlic and chilli to infuse the oil. Remove from the heat if the garlic is turning past light golden, as this will make it bitter.
• Drain the pasta, keeping a cupful of the cooking water, and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan. Toss the pasta in the oil over a low heat, adding a little of the pasta water to emulsify into a sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the capers, parsley, tuna and some seasoning. Don't stir too vigorously - you want to keep larger chunks of tuna. Toss the rocket and lemon juice through the spaghetti, and serve with extra chilli scattered over, if you like.
