now this is food porn ;)

taken from march's delicious magazine (and this was a fantastic feed)

400g spaghetti
1/2 cup olive oil
2 red chillies, finely chopped (you can remove the seeds if you want - i don't)
1 large vine-ripened tomato, blanched, peeled, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves crushed
zest & juice of 1 lemon
300-400g small cooked, peeled prawns
4 cups wild rocket leaves

cook spaghetti as per instructions

place olive oil & garlic in a wide frypan over medium-high heat, as soon as it starts to sizzle add the chilli, cook until fragrant (about a minute). Add tomato and cook until it starts to break down. Add lemon zest & prawns, cook for about 2 minutes, add spaghetti & rocket - mix well, serve.
