This was a test- A successful one at that! :) I'll definitely be making this again! :D

 

Recipe (Requested by tfabas) I don't have the quantities as usually cook by eye. But this recipe serves 4-6 people

 

Serves 4-6 People

Ingredients:

200g Raw Prawns

3 rashers of bacon- chopped into little squares

Mixed herbs, Basil, Oragano, Salt & Pepper

Olive oil

1 packet Fettuccine pasta

3 cloves of garlic- crushed

Onions- chopped finely

3 stalks of spring onion

Curly Parsley

600ml Cream (full or skim, doesn't matter)

A slice of butter

Mushrooms

1 Tea spoon of tomato past

1/2 cup of chicken stock

a splash of white wine

 

Method

I'd start off by boiing the fettuccine pasta in a pot of water with a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and cook for abou 15mins.

While that's going, in another pot, add 2 teaspoons of the oil. Once heated, add the bacon and cook till sealed or a little brown. Then add garlic & onion. Cook till onion is opaque add mushrooms till sealed. Then add the raw prawns- cook till they change colour. Then add the cream. Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 mins. Add the butter and melt through. Then sprinkle some basil, oragano and mixed herbs and add a pinch of salt & cracked pepper. Then add a splash of white wine and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Simmer for another 20 mins on low heat. Once done, add freshly chopped parsley and spring onion. Simmer for 5 mins and turn off heat. Add the pasta into the cream sauce, mix and serve with some parsley & garlic/herb bread and a nice glass of white wine :)

 

Again, this was a test but it sure worked out well- ask my wife! ;)
