Total time:
40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp quick tomato sauce
- 320g spaghetti
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 fresh red chilli
- 500g peeled prawns
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves
- 120ml white wine
- 2 lemons
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Make the tomato sauce.
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water for only 7 minutes, then drain. Put in a bowl and season, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and toss.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic. Deseed and finely chop the chilli.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a thick-bottomed pan, add the garlic and when coloured, add the prawns, chilli and season. Cook to heat through.
- To make the bags, cut foil into 4 x 50cm lengths and drizzle with olive oil. Divide the spaghetti into four, and place in the centre of each piece of foil. Spoon over 1 tablespoon of hot tomato sauce, a quarter of the prawns and a few basil leaves. Bring the edges of the foil together and fold to seal, leaving the top open. Pour 2 tablespoons of wine into each foil bag, then seal the top.
- Place the bags on a tray in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until they inflate. Serve in the bags with lemon.
