I picked up some Langostine tails and paired them with this fresh pasta. It's a squared spaghetti and I admit, I'm lucky, I can get fresh pasta easily! This sauce however, would go with any spaghetti #italian #pasta #seafood #dinner #mainmeal

Steps

15 mins

1

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. If using dried spaghetti, you can start cooking it. If using fresh, don't just yet, as it only takes 2 mins. Using scissors, cut down the tail of the Langostines, this makes them easy to open and eat. Heat oil in a pan and cook garlic and chilli for about 2 mins.

Add the tails and turn up the heat. Add wine and let it evaporate. Now add the tomatoes and simmer on medium heat for about 4-5 mins.
3

If using fresh pasta, add it now. Add fresh parsley to the sauce. Drain pasta al dente and add to sauce. Mix well and serve

Tips

How to get spaghetti or linguine in the pot quickly and easily

Hold pasta down in the middle of your boiling water, release it in one go. It spreads out like this and makes it easy to get in the pot and cook

Infusing oil for pasta

The Italians really don't eat as much garlic as people think. Instead they use garlic to infuse the olive oil. Most of the recipes that I know use garlic like this. Keep the garlic whole, cook in the oil until slightly browned, just a couple of minutes, then either leave it until you've made the sauce, or remove at this stage. Either way, remove before serving

How to stop pasta sticking together

Pasta obviously features a lot in Italian cooking. The secret to stop it sticking together is to keep stirring it in the first 2-3 mins of cooking time. Then just frequently afterwards until it is cooked al dente. No oil required. Mix immediately with the sauce and serve.
