Golden Drop Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preparation:
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the Golden Drop Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large frying pan and cook the prawns for 1-2 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining Golden Drop Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the pan and cook the onion over medium heat until translucent.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pasta until only just al dente. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
  4. While the pasta is cooking, add the garlic to the onion and cook for 1 minute, then add the wine, paprika and chilli flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes then add the tomatoes and mascarpone and return the prawns to the mixture, stirring to combine.
  5. Add the pasta to the prawn chilli mixture, toss gently and cook a further few minutes until everything is heated through. Stir through half of the parsley. If you feel like it needs any more moisture, add the reserved pasta water.
  6. Season to taste with sea salt if desired and serve with the remaining parsley and a good grinding of black pepper.
