Instructions

In a heavy-based saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in chili and garlic until softened.
Add tomatoes and puree while gently stirring occasionally. Simmer for 10 – 12 minutes until sauce is reduced and thick and the flavor is intensified. Season and set aside.
Over medium heat, heat a pan of salted water. When boiling, add spaghetti and cook for 8 – 10 minutes or until cooked. Drain and add a little oil to avoid sticking.
Heat over medium heat a separate frying pan with the remaining olive oil. Toss in capers, anchovies, parsley stems, squid rings, and prawns.
Pour wine and let it simmer until it is reduced in half. Continue cooking until prawns are thoroughly cooked or turned to pink.
Stir through tomato sauce and gently mix all the ingredients.
Toss in the drained spaghetti and stir through the sauce.
Serve in a large bowl sprinkling black pepper. Top with fresh parsley leaves.

Notes

Get out of the norm with this recipe. Instead of the traditional beef, chicken, or pork that you add to your pasta, do it with a twist and make use of prawns instead. It is not only as delectable but it surely is a healthier dish.
You can also make use of a different type of pasta if you wish to.
