Garlic Prawn with Chilli and Basil Pasta

So somewhere along the line i picked up this recipe... can't remember from who or from where or how it should be done, but this is how I cooked it this night and it turned out pretty darn tasty.

----------------------------
Ingredients:
  • 250g of whatever pasta you want
  • Some prawns how much you choose
  • Half a garlic (4 or 5 cloves) peeled. squashed and roughly chopped
  • 10g of basil chopped finely
  • 1 or 2 hot chillies finely chopped as well
  • 1 tablespoon or butter
  • and some olive oil
  • few drops of white truffle oil
Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta until al dente then drain into a colander.
  2. Put a bit of olive oil into a pan on high heat, add the garlic and fry
  3. Add the prawns and fry until half cooked and add the butter, half the basil and the chilli and cook over medium heat
  4. When prawns look cooked add the pasta and stir through on low heat
  5. Add the remaining basil, a sprinkle of extra virgin oil and the truffle oil
  6. Turn off the heat and mix the pasta through thoroughly
  7. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Serves about 2 and takes about 10 mins to prep and 30 mins to cook
