Simple Creamy Spaghetti with Garlic Prawns

Cook spaghetti according to packaging instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, saving 1 cup of pasta water.

While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and red chilli flakes, sauté for a minute until the garlic turns golden.

Add the prawns, cook until they've turned pink, around 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes, stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Now add the cooked spaghetti to the pan along with some pasta water till the desired consistency is achieved. Mix well so the spaghetti is coated with the sauce.

Take it off the heat, add the fresh basil leaves.

Divide among serving plates, and top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately, while hot.
