smoky prawn pasta
A comforting and flavourful pasta dish combining juicy prawns with a creamy, smoky tomato sauce. The smokiness comes from a blend of smoked paprika and chipotle chilli flakes, balanced by the sweetness of red peppers and cherry tomatoes. Finished with nutty Parmigiano Reggiano, this dish is perfect for a quick yet luxurious weeknight dinner.
