Garlic Prawn Pasta with Oven Baked Tomatoes and Feta
Ingredients
- 270 grams garlic prawns - we used Kailis ones.
- 300 grams penne pasta
- 2 punnets cherry or baby roma tomatoes
- 200 grams danish feta
- 3 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup parsley - roughly chopped
- ¼ cup basil - roughly chopped
- 120 grams baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C
- In a large baking dish place the feta, tomatoes and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta. In a large pot of boiling salted water cook pasta for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain and set aside.
- Heat a large fry pan on medium high heat on stove. Add garlic prawns and cook for a 1-2 minutes each side until cooked through.
- Remove baking dish from oven. Using a fork squish tomatoes, feta and garlic. Add pasta and enough reserved pasta water to loosen and form a creamy sauce. Stir though spinach, parsley and basil. Season to taste.
- To serve, divide pasta among plates and top with garlic prawns.
