Spaghetti with Prawns

I always have dry spaghetti in my cupboard, and frozen prawns in the freezer. For me this is a store cupboard dish to make on a day like today, when I had no idea what to make for lunch.

Ingredients for 4:

• 300 gr dry spaghetti
• 200 gr frozen prawns
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced
  
• 2 dry chilies
• 1 tsp tomato paste
• salt and pepper

Thaw the prawns under running cold water.
Put a large pan of water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 6-7 minutes, turn the heat off and drain them.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil, add the sliced garlic and chilies, cook them for 15 seconds. Add the tomato paste and the prawns. Bring the sauce to the boil and cook for 1 minute. As soon as the prawns turn pink , pour the sauce over the spaghetti and toss with a fork.
If you have some, you can sprinkle some chopped parsley over the spaghetti.
Serve with extra chili oil for those who, like myself, need to add extra heat to every dish.
