Spaghetti Machiavelli Ingridients:
12 king prawns (cooked),
325-350 g spaghetti,
6 tbsp butter,
1 tbsp olive oil,
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed,
4 anchovies, chopped,
1-2 small red chillies, finely sliced,
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper,
174 g mushrooms, finely sliced,
30 fresh basil leaves, torn into halves,
(or substitute 2 tbsp fresh parsley or
coriander, finely chopped, or 1 tsp oregano.
Peel the king prawns then split in half, de-veining at the same time.
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water until ‘al dente’.
Meanwhile, put all the remaining ingredients (except a quarter of the fresh herbs) into a large frying pan and saute over a medium heat for about 2 minutes. Put aside until the pasta is ready.
Drain the pasta, allowing a little of the cooking water to remain, and put back into the pan.
Gently reheat the seafood and mushroom sauce, add to the pasta and then toss quickly over a medium heat until they are well integrated and heated through.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining fresh herbs.
