Why Katy's Barking Gecko ?!

I love to travel, I love to cook and to try new recipes...

After returning from yet another trip to South Africa I browsed one of my Food Magazin subscriptions and

we started to envision how it might be to have a small, a very small restaurant. Somewhere in Australia or

South Africa.
Maybe 4 or 5 tables.
To be in the kitchen wearing t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops cooking for fun and nice people....

Doesn't that sound great ?!
We even came up with a name: Katy's Barking Gecko

Well there is no restaurant (so far....), but heaps of favourite recipes.

Simplicity

Sometimes the simplest recipes are among the best...
I just love to have some basic ingredients in the fridge and to be able to prepare a tasty dinner in next to no time.
Like our favorite

Spaghetti with Prawns, Garlic and Chilli


Easily made and yummy.....



Ingredients for 2

250g spaghetti, salted water
200 g prawns
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 chopped garlic clove
½ medium red chilli pepper (chopped)
½ tbsp chopped parsley
3 tablespoons white wine
200g tomato puree

Method

Peel and clean the prawns.
Gently fry the garlic, chili pepper and parsley in hot oil, add the prawns and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, then add the wine and tomatoes and cook another 2-3 minutes.
In the meantime cook the spaghetti in lightly salted boiling water, then drain the pasta, carefully fold in the sauce and serve immediately.
Serve with Parmesan if desired...

Buon appetito!
