The combination of sweet prawns, al dente pasta and a slurpable sauce brings immeasurable pleasure to meal times. Prawn pasta recipes can be as simple or as complicated as you’d like to make them. On the simple side, a splash of white wine and olive oil, some chilli flakes and lemon juice (maybe a sprinkle of parmesan for the seafood rulebreakers) makes an excellent, fresh prawn pasta ready in minutes.

For those up to the challenge, spike your prawn pasta recipes with chilli and garlic for a fra diavolo sauce that bites back. In the summertime, make the most of tomato season with Philipa Sibley’s tomato, rocket, and prawn linguine recipe or a simple bowl of seafood spaghetti with prawns and freshwater fish.

We’re especially in love with Mitch Orr’s gnochetti Sardi with prawns and ‘nduja, a border-crossing dish that combines the flavours of Italy with the freshness of chrysanthemum leaves, an ingredient commonly found in Japanese and Chinese hotpots. Plus, our perfect prawn ravioli recipe and paccheri with prawns, tomato and pickled chilli are equal winners.
