Before you file this away in the too-hard basket, let me assure you there is nothing complicated about this recipe. The pasta can be rolled by hand if a pasta machine is hard to come by, or it can be easily bought from delis and supermarkets, eliminating the need to knead entirely.

The sauce is as easy as chopping some tomatoes, mixing them with a few best friends and allowing the oven to do the rest of the work. Then all you need is some juicy prawns and a healthy appetite to scoff this down with gusto.
