heat olive oil in a saucepan and fry 1 chopped onion and 4 cloves of garlic until soft. add ¼ cup dry white wine, cook for about 1 minute, and add 1 410g tin of chopped tomatoes, 1½ tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon drained capers, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried basil, 1 crushed dried chili, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. cook for about 5 minutes. add 500g peeled and de-veined prawns, and cook, stirring, until pink, about 3 minutes.
boil 1 cup of orzo pasta (orzo is a small rice-shaped pasta) (or use any small shape pasta of your choice) in boiling water until tender. drain and transfer to a buttered baking dish. toss the tomato-prawn sauce through, sprinkle with ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.
bake uncovered for about 10 minutes at 180º celsius until the feta is bubbly.
serve immediately with a fresh salad and crusty bread!

It's good to see you on my blog. Trying to read more in the mornings so I will post more often.
oh, I am so hungry now! YUM that sounds so much like home. Thanks for wishing me luck on my finals. you are so encouraging!
I have been doing a lot more cooking in the past couple of years. This will definitely give me an opportunity to go at it with something new.
One thing about me and cooking is that the kitchen gets messy. But hey, for some good pasta I am willing to turn the house upside down.
sounds like a winning recipe to me :)
Sounds heavenly with all of the
fresh spices.
