Method
Heat a large pot over medium‑high heat and add the pasta, peeled and deveined prawns, and 350 ml of stock.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Stock reaches a boil as the pasta and prawns move in the pot.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Pasta is al dente and most liquid has been absorbed.
If the pasta looks dry before it is fully cooked, pour in the reserved 150 ml of extra stock and continue to simmer until the pasta reaches the desired texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and let the pasta rest for 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Resting thickens the remaining stock into a coating sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
