This easy prawn recipe is absolutely delicious – the smell while it’s cooking will get your tastebuds going.

The tomato sauce base is very useful – you can use it with any mixture of seafood or fish you like as a pasta sauce.

I like to serve this with some garlic bread – see the tip below for quick garlic bread without switching on the oven.

Prawn Fettucine
1 tbspn olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 pint (300 ml) white wine
1 14 oz (400g) can peeled chopped plum tomatoes
1 tbspn tomato puree
1 lb (450g) fettucine
12 oz (350g)cooked peeled prawns (shrimp)
1 tbspn fresh chopped parsley

Heat the olive oil and gently fry the onion and garlic.

Add the wine, tomatoes and puree and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Cook the fettucine according to the instructions on the packet.

Add the prawns to the sauce and heat through.

Serve at once with freshly grated parmesan.

This is a really easy prawn recipe – if prawns are too expensive in this quantity for you, then you could use a can of tuna and just a few prawns instead.

*TIP* Take slices of white bread and toast one side, butter the other side, rub over a peeled garlic clove and finish toasting under the grill – quick, easy garlic bread.
