Creamy Prawn Linguine Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring to boil a large pot of water. Add pasta and cook per packet MINUS 1 minute. (Note 5).
• Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add prawns and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Remove prawns.
• In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter. Once melted, add garlic. Stir for 20 seconds until fragrant.
• Add wine and stir. Simmer for 2 minutes until wine mostly reduces (see video).
• Add cream, broth and parmesan. Stir until the parmesan is melted, then leave to simmer for 1 1/2 minutes until it thickens slightly (will thicken more in next step).
• Add prawns, stir, then add pasta plus about 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water. Toss pasta (still on stove) and the sauce will thicken in about 30 - 45 seconds and start clinging to the pasta.
• Take it off the stove before the sauce is as thick as you want - it will thicken more.
• Sprinkle with most of the parsley and black pepper, check salt (I don't need more). Toss again until the sauce consistency is to your taste. Add a tiny splash of pasta water if it gets too gluggy.
• Serve immediately, garnished with remaining parsley and parmesan if desired.

CREAMY PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic. Run your knife down the back of 2 prawns, so they'll butterfly as they cook, then finely chop the rest.
• Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Finely slice the pancetta, sprinkle into the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry until lightly golden. Toss in the garlic and whole prawns for 2 minutes, then go in with the wine and let it cook away. Toss through the chopped prawns and mascarpone for 1 minute, then use tongs to drag the pasta straight into the pan, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it. Roughly chop the rocket, add most of it to the pan and toss it all together over the heat until you have a silky sauce. Subtly season to perfection with the Parmesan and black pepper. Serve sprinkled with the remaining rocket and an extra grating of Parmesan, if you like.
