Instructions

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti al dente, reserving a little cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, fry the sliced onions in the olive oil for 6 to 8 minutes, then add the chopped garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Add the prawns and sear them for 2 minutes on each side.
  4. Deglaze with the ouzo and let it reduce for 1 minute, watching the heat.
  5. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Drain the pasta and toss it into the sauce with a little of the cooking water.
  7. Mix for 1 minute over medium heat so the pasta is well coated.
  8. Sprinkle with parsley and grated cheese, then serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Alcohol-free. Replace the ouzo with lemon juice and a little vegetable stock.
