Cyndal serves up a delicious Prawn, Chorizo & Riesling spaghetti using fresh produce from Catalano’s
Ingredients:
- Chorizo
- Diced garlic
- Riesling
- Prawns
- Lemon
- Pasta
- Chilli (optional)
- Generous amount of parsley
Method:
- On medium heat, cook off the chorizo.
Once the fat starts rendering from the sausage and it begins to brown, immediately add the garlic.
- Let the garlic soften, and once it starts to colour, pour in a quarter bottle of Riesling. (If you can, use a wine that’s only been open a couple of days — you really don’t want to cook with wine you wouldn’t drink.)
- Make sure your pasta water is hot and ready.
- Turn the heat up while the sauce reduces (you want it to thicken slightly and coat the spoon).
- While the wine is reducing, cook your spaghetti until just shy of al dente (it’ll finish cooking in the sauce).
- When the sauce has reduced to a light glaze, add the prawns on high heat, and cook until just opaque.
- Then add a drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter for richness. (If the sauce looks a little wet, add a spoonful of pasta water to help it thicken and cling.)
- Add a massive amount of chopped parsley; it should feel bright and fresh!
- Drain the spaghetti, drizzle it with a bit more olive oil, then toss it back through the pan to coat it in that glossy Riesling sauce. And you’re done!
