Linguine Alla Ti Amo

This is one of the first recipes I picked up after arriving in Perth.. I was working in a cafe part-time and this was Lester's favourite pasta dish.. So, I learnt it. It's simple, yummy and popular..

Ingredients:
Olive oil
Onion, chopped
Garlic, chopped
Red Chilli, chopped
Bacon, thinly sliced
Capsicum, chopped
Fresh Button Mushrooms, sliced
Prawns, whole
Linguine
Freshly grounded Black Pepper and Sea Salt

Method:
1. Set the linguine to cook per instructions on the package. Be sure to put the pasta into the pot in a spiral fashion. It should be done in about 10 mins. Drain, run through cold water to stop further cooking, drain and set aside.
2. Heat Olive oil. Fry bacon first, till almost crisp to ensure full flavour.
3. Add onions, once it's softened add garlic, followed by the chilli.
4. Add mushrooms, if oil is all absorbed you may want to add more olive oil.
5. Add Capsicum, cook till it's softened. Season with Sea Salt and Black Pepper. Be generous with the Black Pepper.
6. Fry the Prawns till it's cooked and pink.
7. Toss the Linguine through and serve!

Serve this up with a nice glass of chilled white wine! Yummy!!! =)
