Prawn & Mushroom Spaghetti

This is a really simple “TV meal” that I often eat on my own, but the depth of flavour is good and the meal very satisfying. I’m doing the recipe for one, so just multiply your ingredients accordingly.

Ingredients

150g Raw King Prawns (fresh, not frozen), peeled

100g Button Mushrooms, washed

1 medium red chilli, finely chopped, seeds removed

1 small clove of garlic, crushed

1 TSP oregano, finely chopped

Butter

100Ml White wine.

Spaghetti

Method:

Heat up a pan with a knob of butter and throw in the prawns to fry off. Fry until they turn pink. At this point you need to put your mushrooms and garlic in. The button mushrooms should be small enough to go in whole, which allows them to become a receptacle for the light sauce and bring in loads of flavour. After the mushrooms are go in, throw in your chopped chilli and sprinkle the oregano. As the mushrooms start to brown lightly (which is when their best flavour will start to come out) slowly start adding your wine, stirring regularly. When all the wine is in, let to reduce and put a handful of good spaghetti or linguini into some salted boiling water.

As spaghetti becomes al dente, the sauce should have reduced sufficiently. Place strained spaghetti and sauce into the one pot, mix around and then put on the plate. Et viola! Simple and really tasty. Serve with a nice Pinot Grigio.
