One pot prawn puttanesca

I have been wanting to try this revipe tor a long long time but never bought anchovies on account of its bad reputation. I can't speak for other recipes but it clearly works here.

Adapted from Nigella: https://www.nigella.com/recipes/sluts-spaghetti

Ingredients

8 anchovies (half a bottle) with half a bottle of oil

1 tbsp minced garlic

5 chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp dried chilli flakes

1 tbsp paprika

10 to 12 black olives

250g sphagettini

1 big glass of water

10 to 12 frozen prawns

Method

1) Chop the black olives and anchovies finely.

2) In a heated pan on a medium high heat, add the anchovies and olives and mush them up. 

3) Once the aroma hits you, add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, dried chilli flakes and paprika.

4) Break up the sphagettini and stir it in. It's nice if it gets a but scorched. Add the water and frozen prawns. Stir to incorporate. Cover and turn down the heat to let it simmer till the pasta is cooked al dente, about 5 minutes.

5) Towards the last 2 minutes, uncover and turn up the heat to evaporate the excess liquid to thicken the sauce.

6) Serve immediately.
