Instructions
 

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
  • Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Set aside.

Spaghetti

  • Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.

Spicy White Bean Sauce

  • While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the spicy white bean sauce. In a large frying pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, red chilli and red peppers, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, cayenne pepper and paprika, and cook for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the drained and rinsed pinto beans to the pan, along with the sliced olives, lime juice and fresh parsley. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through. Season with salt to taste.

Garlic Prawns

  • In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the raw prawns, minced garlic and white pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the prawns are pink and cooked through.

Plate up

  • To serve, divide the spaghetti between four plates, top with the spicy white bean sauce and garlic prawns, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with the roasted cherry tomatoes on the side.
