Angel-Hair Pasta with Prawns, Tomatoes and Rocket

I found this recipe in the Masterchef magazine, Issue 6. To make this simple pasta dish you first cook some red onion and garlic, then add green prawns, celery (which I left out), cherry tomatoes, rocket (or basil), red chilli, lemon zest and lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes. Next you cook the angel-hair pasta (you can use spaghettini or spaghetti) in boiling salted water. Add the pasta and some of the pasta cooking water to the prawn mixture and cook until warm. Serve topped with extra rocket (or basil), cracked pepper and a drizzle of olive oil if you choose. I served this dish with a simple tossed salad and found it a very enjoyable weeknight meal.
