Serves 4

• A pot of boiling water for your pasta (this needs to be boiling at the start of the show!)
• 200g angel hair pasta
• 1 red chilli pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves, peeled
• 225g medium size raw, peeled prawns

How to make angel hair pasta with prawns, chilli and tomatoes

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. When it comes to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook according to pack instructions until al dente (approximately 3-4 minutes).

2. Heat a large sauté pan over a medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Thinly slice the chilli (deseed if you prefer) and crush the garlic. Add the chilli and garlic to the pan and sauté for a minute before adding the prawns. Toss them for a further minute, season with salt and pepper before adding the white wine.

3. Drain the pasta and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil then grate over some fresh lemon zest.

4. Chop the tomato and spring onions. Add to the pan and cook briefly.

5. Shred the basil leaves and add half to the pan.

6. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix to coat evenly. Divide between 4 plates and serve immediately with a sprinkling of shredded basil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
