Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 200 g linguine; 100 ml olive oil; 3 large garlic cloves, chopped; 40 g cured ham, sliced; 2 small red chilies, finely chopped; 200 ml white wine; 400 g raw prawns; 1 small handful fresh basil, chopped; 25 g fresh parmesan cheese, sliced; sea salt, to taste; fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1
Bring a large pan of well-salted oil to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
2
Meanwhile, put the olive oil, garlic and chilli in a saute pan and heat slowly until it just starts to sizzle. This ensures that the oil gets infused with the garlic and chilli flavour, rather than just burning.
3
Add the wine to the pan and reduce the heat. Reduce slightly.
4
In a separate pan, dry-fry the cured ham until crispy (or do it under the grill).
5
Just before the pasta is ready, add the prawns to the garlic and chilli mix and stir until pink.
6
Drain the linguine, reserving a little of the water and add the pasta to the prawn mix. Stir well to coat. If necessary, use a little of the pasta water.
7
Turn off the heat and stir through the basil, Parmesan and ham.
8
Season and serve immediately.
