Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 200g spaghetti

• 200g prawns, peeled and deveined

• 2 tbsp Mama Kim's Kimchi Chilli Oil

• 1/2–1 tsp Mama Kim's Kimchi Salt, to taste

• 50g sun-dried tomatoes, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced

• 1/4 cup reserved pasta water

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

• Small fresh basil leaves, to garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. Heat Mama Kim's Kimchi Chilli Oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Add the prawns and cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until just cooked through.

5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and toss briefly.

6. Add the cooked spaghetti, reserved pasta water and lemon juice.

7. Toss for 1–2 minutes until the pasta is glossy and evenly coated.

8. Season with Mama Kim's Kimchi Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.

Tips

• Do not overcook the prawns; they should remain juicy and tender.

• Add Kimchi Salt gradually, as sun-dried tomatoes can already be salty.

• Pasta water helps the Kimchi Chilli Oil coat the pasta evenly.

• Finish with an extra drizzle of Kimchi Chilli Oil just before serving for maximum flavour.

• Tear the basil leaves by hand rather than chopping them for a fresher aroma.
