TAGLIATELLE WITH PRAWNS AND CREAM

Preparation Method :

• Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until al dente. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the spring onion and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add the prawns and stir for 2 minutes, or until they just start to change colour. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
• Splash in the brandy and boil for 2 minutes, or until the brandy is reduced by half. Stir in the cream, then add the thyme and half the parsley.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Return the prawns to the sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Season well.
• Toss the sauce through the pasta. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little hot water or milk. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley, then serve.
