King Prawn Pappardelle with Tomato and Chilli Sugo Recipe
Ingredients
Units
Units
400g pappardelle pasta
16 green king prawns peeled (tails left on) and de-veined
500g Tomato & Chilli Sugo
¼ cup flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
To season sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
100g salted ricotta (optional) finely grated
Methods
1
Place a large pot of water over a high heat, bring to the boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
2
Place the Pappardelle into the boiling water and stir to avoid the pasta sticking together or to the bottom of the pot.
3
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente or follow makers cooking instructions. Remove pasta from the heat, strain off the water and drizzle over 1 tablespoon of olive oil.  Stir oil through the pasta then cover with a lid to keep warm. Set aside.
4
Meanwhile, place a large non-stick high sided fry pan over a medium high heat and pour in the remaining olive oil. Once hot, place in the prawns and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then deglaze the pan with Verjuice. Allow Verjuice to reduce by approximately half (this will not take very long) then take the prawns out and set aside.
5
Add the Tomato & Chilli Sugo to the pan with the reserved Verjuice and bring mixture to a simmer to heat the sauce through. Return the prawns to the pan along with the parsley and salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
6
To serve, toss the pasta through the sauce and place onto platter. Grate over the salted ricotta (optional) and drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Alternatively, serve into 4 separate bowls and dress individually.
