Background

I love pre-cooked crayfish tails because they can be used for delicious and simple meals. And I love pasta dishes because they're also quick & easy to make, but are filling and can easily be made gluten-free. So I came up with this Spicy Crayfish Spaghetti dish using the ingredients I had in my kitchen. You can add other veggies to the pasta sauce if you like - bell pepper, mushrooms, green peas, broad beans &/or spinach would all work well. It takes less the 15 minutes to make this dish!

Ingredients

1 medium leek (or ½ onion)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp capers
100g fresh cherry tomatoes, cut in half
½ tsp chillii flakes
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar (or dry white wine)
1 pinch of sweet paprika
I pack of cooked crayfish tails (approx 125g)
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
200g spaghetti
To serve: Parmesan ( optional)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, finely chop the leek. Heat the oil in a pan, and sauté the leek. Add the capers, chilli and cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are tender. Add the rice vinegar and let it bubble.
Add the paprika, crayfish tails and parsley. Heat through, taste and season with salt and pepper.
Drain the pasta and toss with the crayfish sauce.
Serve with ground pepper and Parmesan cheese if you like.
