Creamy Thai-Style Pasta

You have never heard of Thai-style pasta before? Well, me too :)! The only thing Thai about this pasta is the Thai chili paste that I use. The rest of the ingredients is quite typical Italian.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 200 g pasta, boiled until al dente
  
• 3 tbs olive oil
• 1 tbs minced garlic
• 100 g prawns
• 150 ml cream
• 2 tbs Thai chili paste with soy bean oil*
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 tbs Maggi vegetable granules
  
• 1 tbs dried oregano
• 150 g grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1 tsp sugar
• Black pepper to taste

*This is the Thai chili paste I use. If you cannot find this paste, be creative and find a different type of Asian chili paste and create your own East-West pasta combo.

Instructions

• Heat olive oil on medium heat.
• Add minced garlic and prawns. Sauté until fragrant.
• Add Thai chili paste, cream, Maggi granules, sugar and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Stir and then let it simmer for 1 minute.
  
• Toss in the pasta, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and dried oregano. Sauté for about 1 minute.
• Serve immediately and garnish with some cherry tomatoes and salad greens.
