Pangrattato

1tbsp - Chopped Fresh Oregano (can substitute with dried)

Salt


Directions

This is a great quick and easy meal, but timing is key, so make sure you have all your ingredients prepared beforehand as the dish comes together quickly.

1. Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil, making sure to season heavily with salt. 2. While waiting for the water to boil, we can make the pangrattato, which is an Italian style of toasted seasoned breadcrumbs. Heat a small pot over medium heat add butter and melt. 3. Once the butter begins to foam add in your breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and chopped oregano, toast for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pot and allow to drain on some kitchen paper and set aside.

Once water is boiling add spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. And reserve some of the pasta water for the sauce.

4. While the spaghetti is cooking, we will bring together the pasta sauce. In a large pan on medium heat add the olive oil, garlic, sundried tomatoes, capers, and chilli flakes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until garlic is golden, then add in the prawns and cook for another 3 minutes (it is important to cook the prawns over a gentle heat and for not too long as they may overcook and become tough). Once prawns have turned light pink add in half a cup of pasta water and toss. Now add your al dente spaghetti toss with prawn sauce finish with parsley and lemon juice.

5. Serve with pangrattato and enjoy.
