Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium sized onion diced
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped finely
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 de-seeded chopped red chilli
  • 4 ripe tomatoes chopped

  • 180 g pre-cooked chilled / frozen prawns
  • 8 nests of dried tagliatelle about 75g per person

Instructions

  • In a medium sized saucepan heat the olive oil, then add the diced onion and chopped garlic and sauté until soft. About 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Add the ground coriander, chopped peppers and red chilli and stir everything together well and sauté for about a further 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and the basil leaves and cook all the vegetables until completely soft which will take about 5 minutes.
