Prawns & Rocket Pasta Recipe
A couple of months ago, when we were in Italy, we discovered so many good pasta recipes! We’ve already shared with you Italian Pesto Salmon Pasta but we promised to share with you all of them. So get ready for another amazing recipe – Prawns Rocket Pasta. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever tried, trust us!
This recipe doesn’t use any store brought sauce, everything is prepared right away! We basically made our own tomato sauce by using one large ripe tomato. The softer it is the better the sauce will be, and the results will blow you away.
For this recipe, we haven’t been using salt because prawns are the type of sea fish which already contains a lot of salt. When it comes to the salt we have a rule, the less we add it the better if it can be avoided then let’s do it! 🙂
Let us know if you like this pasta series in the comments section down. Our goal is to share as many new recipes as we discover on our trips.
