1 Avocado, diced (9sp)

25g Parmesan, grated (4sp)

METHOD

Over medium heat, lightly spray a large non stick frypan with olive oil. Put the cherry tomatoes, onion, sambal oelek, garlic and olive oil in pan and cook over until soft. 

Meanwhile, add the pasta to a large pan of boiling salted water and cook until al dente.

Add the prawns to the sauce and stir in the cream and chopped basil. Cook until prawns are cooked through.  

Drain the pasta and toss with the pasta sauce. Add parmesan, avocado and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Divide between warm plates, Serve immediately.

Notes: I use defrosted frozen prawn meat and cut them in half so you get more prawns in each mouthful. I use Gourmet Garden brand fresh basil in a tube for convenience. I use Vetta high fibre pasta, for that little extra fibre.
