About

It feels as we are on a fish cooking series, but I had a request from my son therefore I could not say no to it. As I had prawns in the freezer, fresh tomatoes and spinach in the refrigerator, dinner was ready rather quickly.
As I was creating the recipe as I was going along, I did not use any garlic for us, but I am sure it will give it a nice flavor to it. If you want to spice up things adding a few shakes of crushed chili peppers will shake things up a bit.
I had no idea what to expect , but I have to admit the juice and with the wine it gave such a great flavor to the prawns. Mixing the past in the skillet, allowed the pasta to absorb all the juice and enrich itself with flavor.
Enjoy!!!
