Spaghetti with crab, prawns and pomodorino tomatoes


This is a great idea for a quick dinner with a chic allure that will impress your snobbiest friend!
Easy to make, fresh, very tasty and perhaps a bit aphrodisiac (just saying). Plus everybody knows fish makes you smart.

Ingredients (serves 2-3) 

1 pack of king prawns
2 tins of crab meat chunks (the John West one is good)
1 pack of pomodorino tomatoes
2  garlic heads
A little bit over half a 500 g. pack of spaghetti (I love De Cecco)
2 dried chilies
Extra virgin Oil as needed
Half a glass of dry white wine
Some chopped parsley to garnish
Salt and pepper as needed 

Chop the garlic, add it to a pan  where you have poured some oil and the crushed dry chilies. Let it brown until it starts smelling all garlicky and delicious (sure you got the idea). Add the pomodorino tomatoes that you have rinsed and cut in half, let them cook until they start releasing some juice, add the crab meat and the white wine and let them cook till the crab meat starts turning pink and the texture becomes more creamy. Add the prawns and let them cook for another 5 or 6 minutes. In the meantime bring some salted water to boil and cook the spaghetti until they are perfectly "al dente". Add the spaghetti to the sauce (duh) and serve with some extra virgin oil and some chopped parsley.
