Method

  1. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a heavy based saucepan over a medium heat and add the chilli and garlic. Fry for 1-2 mins, until just softened before adding the tomatoes and purée into the pot. Stirring gently – being careful to avoid splashes – simmer and reduce the sauce for 10-12 mins until the sauce is thick and the flavour intensified. Season well and set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan of salted water over a medium heat. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 mins until al dente. Drain and return to the pan with a little olive oil to prevent the pasta sticking.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the capers, anchovies, parsley stems, squid rings and prawns. Pour in the wine and bubble until reduced by half. Continue to cook until the prawns have turned pink and are cooked through. Stir through the tomato sauce and gently combine all of the ingredients.
  4. Stir the drained spaghetti and stir through the sauce. Serve in large bowls with a twist of black pepper and fresh parsley leaves.
