Garlic Prawn Pasta
A favourite and on reasonably high rotation in our household. I don't remember where I originally found the recipe (it's handwritten into my book) however I have made a few adaptations over time.

Ingredients
- 500 grams Pasta (I use spaghetti or linquine)
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup White wine
- 2 tbsps Butter (more if you want more sauce)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 pinch Chilli flakes
- 20 Green prawns, peeled except for tails
- 5-6 Semi-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsps Parsley
- handful Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 stalk Bok choy, chopped
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Directions
- Cook the past in a large saucepan of boiling salted water. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drain pasta and set aside to keep warm.
- Put oil in a frying pan with the garlic and heat gently over a low heat.
- When the oil is hot add the prawns, chilli and half the parsley. Increase the heat to high and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn the prawns and cook through.
- Remove the prawns and set aside.
- Add the lemon juice and white wine to pan, allow to bubble and reduce for two minutes. At this point I added the semi-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bok choy and some pasta water and parmesan.
- Once the bok choy has cooked down a bit, stir in cold butter and lemon zest until you have a smooth sauce.
- Add the prawns and pasta and toss through sauce and heat through.
- Top with remaining parsley and some more grated parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
