Ingredients:
  • 60.00 gm butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small day-old baguette, thinly sliced
  • 60.00 ml Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
  • 1 small red chilli, finely sliced
  • 44.40 gm tomato paste
  • 700ml tomato sugo
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 400g raw and peeled prawns
  • 1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 40.00 ml Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 500g dry squid ink fettuccini, cooked per packet instructions
  • Extra flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • Extra Parmesan Cheese Grated
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a small saucepan, gently heat the butter and garlic until the butter is melted and infused with the garlic. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with the garlic butter and place them on a lined baking tray. Bake for 3-4 minutes, then flip the slices over and sprinkle each with Mil Lel Parmesan Cheese Grated. Bake for another 3-4 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
  • To prepare the sauce, heat a large, heavy-based frypan over medium heat. Warm the oil until shimmering. Sauté the garlic and chili for 2 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste and sugo. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes, prawns, and parsley. Cook until prawns are just done. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the zest, juice, and grated Mil Lel Parmesan Cheese. Mix everything thoroughly.
  • Place the warm cooked pasta on a serving platter, top with the sauce, and sprinkle with parsley, lime wedges, and extra Mil Lel Parmesan Cheese Grated before serving.
