Step 1

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states.

Step 2

When the pasta is about 4 minutes away from being cooked, heat the butter with a little cooking oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. When it’s hot, add the prawns and cook for 1 minute, stirring often.

Step 3

Turn the heat down to a medium, then add the chilli, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 30 seconds, then pour in the white wine and reduce by half.

Step 4

Add the al dente pasta into the pan along with some of the pasta water.

Step 5

Then add the mascarpone, grated parmesan and chopped parsley and stir well until it’s nice and creamy. If it needs loosening up, then add a little bit more pasta water.

Step 6

Season to taste then dish it up and finish it with more parmesan.
