This is one of my favorite pasta dish. You can substitute the prawn with any seafood you like or you can add in any type of seafood for more variety.Easily cooked and pack with deliciously colorful vegetables.

Ingredients:
100g linguine
1-2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped garlic
5 large prawns/shrimps (shells & veins removed)
2 teaspoon dried mix herbs
chilli flakes (optional)
1/2 a cup zucchini
1/2 a cup capsicum
1/2 a cup cherry tomatoes
salt/garlic salt

Serving : 1 person

Methods:

1. Add some vegetable oil and salt to a pot of water, and boil the linguine till al dente (according to the instructions on the package). Drain & set aside.
2. In a saucepan (medium flame), heat olive oil and stir fry chopped garlic, dried mix herbs and chilli flakes till they are infused with the oil.
3. Add the prawns and stir fry till they are cooked.Add in all vegetables. Toss in the pasta and stir evenly.
4. Season with salt (about 1/2 tsp and add more if needed) and stir well. You can garnish with parsley flakes, grated cheese and garlic bits before serving.
