Asian Chilli Prawn Linguine

The Lowdown:

This delectable chilli prawn linguine is the perfect thing to cook for date night. Simple and sophisticated, and made with a whole lot of love. Infused with the fragrance of Japanese chilli sesame oil and a punch of umami from anchovies (if you’ve never cooked with this you’re definitely missing out!). Definitely a recipe you’ll wanna add to your pasta collection 🍝
