Hmm…Someone’s cooking in the kitchen. Not only looked delicious, it tasted spot on and mouthwatering. It was her favorite pasta, spaghetti Aglio e Olio. It is the Roman dialectal way of saying garlic and oil and generally prepared very spicy. A recipe so delightful and easily satisfies one’s palate. Enjoy la!

• 1/2 cup virgin oil
• 1/2 cup fresh prawns,
• 2 – 3 red chilli peppers(optional if you don’t spicy)

3. Pour the cooked pasta into a bowl for tossing and serving. Add the garlic and prawn mixture and toss. Add in the reserved liquid and give a good stir. Serve immediately. Voila!
