Ingredients

  1. 300g dried linguine
  2. 400g Tiger Prawns, peeled and deveined
  3. 3 tbsp olive oil
  4. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  5. 1 long red chilli, finely sliced (adjust to taste)
  6. Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  7. 60g fresh rocket (arugula), roughly chopped
  8. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  9. Grated parmesan or pecorino (optional, for serving)
  10. Reserved pasta water (2–3 tbsp, as needed)

Method

  1. Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chili, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the cooked tiger prawns to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes to heat them through. Add the chili flakes (optional) for extra heat.
  4. Stir in the cooked linguine, tossing to coat the pasta with the garlic, chili, and prawns. Add a splash of pasta water to create a light sauce if needed.
  5. Add the fresh rocket leaves and lemon juice to the pan, tossing gently until the rocket wilts slightly and everything is combined.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the linguine garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan (optional). Enjoy!

Chef's Tip

For the best prawn linguine, cook the pasta until just al dente and finish it in the pan with the prawns, garlic, chilli, and a splash of reserved pasta water to create a silky light sauce that clings to every strand. Add the rocket at the very end so it wilts gently without losing its fresh peppery flavour. The combination of sweet tiger prawns, bright lemon, and subtle chilli heat creates a perfectly balanced pasta that tastes light, fresh, and full of flavour.
