Ingredients
- Salt
- 375 g fusilli pasta
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp ground white pepper
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 200 g chicken hearts, trimmed, finely chopped
- 150 g banana prawn meat, roughly chopped
- ⅓ small bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, then drain and return to the saucepan.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground white pepper and chilli flakes and stir until very lightly toasted. Add the chicken hearts and prawns and cook, stirring until the chicken hearts are coloured and the prawns are cooked through.
- Stir through the parsley and a generous squeeze of lemon juice, then increase the heat to high until warmed through. Remove from the heat, and while hot stir through the garlic. This will allow the residual heat from the pan to gently cook the garlic.
- Pour the prawn and chicken heart mixture over the pasta and toss well to combine. Season to taste and add a little more salt, or lemon juice to your liking.
- Divide the midnight pasta between bowls and serve.
