Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Nests of Tagliatelle
  • 12 (approx) Shell-off fresh/frozen Jumbo Prawns (or fewer larger ones)
  • 1 tbsp Sambal oelek
  • 2 tbsp Crème fraîche
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  1. Put a pan of water on to boil for the pasta. Salt it well. Add pasta and cook.
  2. When the pasta is almost ready, heat a frying pan with some olive oil. Quickly fry the prawns for just a couple of minutes (until they are just about to turn pink)
  3. Just before the prawns are fully cooked, add the sambal oelek and stir well. Then quickly, add the crème fraîche. Cook for 2-3 minutes, but don’t let it boil.
  4. Before draining the pasta, add a couple of spoons of the pasta water to the sauce. Now drain the pasta and mix into the sauce.
  5. Serve in large, deep bowls.
