Garlic, Tomato and Prawn Fettuccine

So this is a really simple pasta dish that is very tasty for the amount of effort. Well worth cooking on a weeknight if you want something warm and easy to do.

Ingredients:

• Fettuccine
• Crushed tomatos (400ml can)
• Baby roma tomatoes (cut in half)
• Handful of fresh baby spinach
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced or chopped finely)
• Onion (1 whole, chopped finely)
• Prawns (about 200g)
• Olive oil (enough for frying onions)
• Passata (250ml = 1 cup)
• Oregano (1 Tbs, for taste)
• Basil  (1 tspn, for taste)
• Salt and Pepper (for taste) 
• Shaved parmesan (for garnish and taste)

How to cook it:

1. If your using frozen prawns, take them out and put them in water to thaw as your preparing the other ingredients.
2. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
3. Add oil to frypan and heat. When oil is hot add onion. When onion is slightly coloured add minced garlic. Cook for a few mins on high for a minute or so till their coloured and lightly brown - but don't let them burn :P
4. Drain prawns and add to frypan. Cook on hight for a minute or so.
5. Add crushed tomatoes, passata, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and turn down heat to a simmer.
6. Pour in the tomatoes.
7. Whilst simmering, cook fettuccine.
8. Just before serving add fresh baby spinach leaves to the pan and stir through gently.
9. Serve pasta in a bowl. Spoon your awesome pasta sauce over it and top with desired amount of parmesan.

Now, for the evidence!

Things to note:

• I suggest using baby tomatoes of some kind as they are sweet and give a nice balance to the dish rather than the regular tomatoes. You could instead use cherry or grape tomatoes.
• Frozen prawns work absolutely fine. I used frozen peeled prawns that I bought from Coles, which we found in the frozen foods section.

It was yummy!  :)
