Ingredients (serves 2)
this wasn't bad to be honest (i added more asparagus and a few more prawns than recommended) It was nice but maybe a little on the bland side - there's a much better prawn pasta recipe in Delicious thats probably about as easy to make as this
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
* 1 garlic clove, crushed
* 1 long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped (i left the seeds)
* 8 large green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact (again I added more)
* 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2cm lengths (i doubled this to 2 bunches)
* 1/3 cup dry white wine (this was 1/2 cup as increased the prawns & asparagus)
* 160g dried angel hair pasta (probably was about 250g)
* shaved parmesan, to serve
Method
1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of cooking liquid.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, chilli and prawns. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until prawns just turn pink.
3. Add asparagus and wine. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until asparagus is tender.
4. Add pasta and reserved liquid to prawn mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve with parmesan.
