Simple Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, careful not to burn it.

Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Stir in the dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Return the prawns to the skillet and toss them in the tomato sauce for about 1 minute to heat through.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet, toss well with the sauce, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined.

Serve the prawn pasta hot, garnished wfresh basil.
