- Once crispy, add a pinch of dried chilli flakes and the raw prawns. Cook the prawns until they're pink, then add a chopped garlic clove. Cook for a further 30 seconds, and then pour in the passata.
- Start cooking the linguine (follow the instructions on the packet).
- Meanwhile, bubble the sauce down until it's nice and thick, then throw in the chopped basil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Drain your pasta and pour it into the sauce. Mix everything together and serve, with a drizzle of olive oil and the basil leaves scattered on top.
