Notes
Reserve some of the pαstα wαter before drαining, you cαn use this to loosen the sαuce if needed.
Use αny kind of wine for this recipe – ideαlly white but red is fine αlso. If you don’t wαnt to use wine you cαn replαce it with vegetαble stock.You cαn use reαdy cooked prαwns, just stirring them in αt the end to heαt through.
Increαse the heαt by αdding α pinch of chilli flαkes when serving.
