SPICY CHILLI PRAWN PASTA (SHRIMP)
Pasta tossed with juicy prawns and a rich spicy tomato sauce! Super quick for midweek, the secret ingredients in this are the anchovies (it dissolves!) and parmesan which provides that extra umami that you get from simmering a sauce made with prawn shells for hours and hours. See note 1 for more commentary and see video below recipe.

- Add red pepper flakes and anchovies. Stir briefly, then add wine and garlic.
- Cook for 30 seconds until wine is mostly evaporated.

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.
