This prawn and creamy tomato capellini is a sophisticated high-protein dish that balances light seafood with a rich, velvety sauce. The addition of sweet red vermouth provides a complex depth of flavour that perfectly complements the succulent prawns and fragrant oregano. It is an ideal choice for an indulgent weekend lunch or a quick yet elegant weeknight dinner that feels like a restaurant-quality treat.
Using capellini, or angel hair pasta, ensures the delicate strands are perfectly coated in the silky tomato and double cream reduction. By reserving a little of the starchy pasta water, you can achieve a flawless consistency that clings to every bite. Serve this colourful dish immediately with a simple green salad for a balanced, protein-packed meal that is both comforting and nutritious.

Ingredients for Capellini with Prawns and Creamy Tomato Sauce
45ml olive oil
450g peeled large prawns
3 large garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
120ml sweet (red) vermouth
1 (14- to 425g ) can diced tomatoes, drained
180ml double cream
1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
230g capellini
How to make Capellini with Prawns and Creamy Tomato Sauce
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook prawns and garlic with oregano, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes total. Stir in vermouth and tomatoes, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream and briskly simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.
Meanwhile, cook capellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 5.7L water) until al dente. Reserve 240ml pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta.
Serve immediately, topped with prawns and sauce. Thin with some of reserved water if necessary.
