Crispy Chilli Oil Prawn Penne by 🌶️🍤
This crispy chilli oil prawn pasta is your sign to level up weeknight dinners.
Simple, bold, and packed with flavour you’ll be making this on repeat.
Recipe:
Start by drizzling olive oil into a pan, then add 3–4 tbsp crispy chilli oil. Add 6–8 crushed garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant.
Slice a punnet of cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened. Use the back of a spoon to gently crush the tomatoes into a rustic sauce.
Stir in 4 tbsp tomato paste, then pour in 1–1½ cups of reserved pasta water. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add 500g prawns (seasoned with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika) and cook until they turn pink and are just done.
Meanwhile, cook your Barilla Al Bronzo Penne Rigate until al dente. Toss the pasta straight into the sauce and mix well to coat.
Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
