Black Pepper Prawn Spaghetti

For my friend who wants to cook a simple meal for her boyfriend - here's a very simple recipe to try out! All you need is a mere 30 minutes of your time, nothing more I assure you.



Ingredients:

- Prawns (Seafood works fine too)
- Celery - sliced
- Spaghetti
- Black pepper sauce (I use the bottle ready-made kinds which you can find in the section where the oyster sauce is)
- Oil - a few spoonful

Instructions:

- Boil the spaghetti for about 9 min (add some salt to taste and olive oil so they don't stick together)

- Meanwhile, heat the frying pan with some oil
- Add in the prawns and stir fry for 4-5 min
- Add in the celery
- Lastly add in the black pepper sauce (with some water if it's too thick)

- Remove the cooked spaghetti and transfer them onto a plate
- Pour the prawn and black pepper sauce onto the spaghetti

Good luck!

Alio Oglio with Mussels

I always believe the best way to ensure quality control is to cook the dish yourself provided it not a complicated one to start with. Then you can get the freshest ingredients and most importantly in this case, that the spaghetti is al dente.




Ingredients:

- Mussels (I got NZ mussels as they are juicier than the English lots)
- Spaghetti
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Chilli flakes (Use fresh chilli for best results)
- Olive oil


Instructions:

- Brown garlic with olive oil
- Add chilli to spice up the oil mixture
- Toss in already cooked spaghetti
- Add mussels
- Garnish with parsley
