Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well, reserving 1/4 cup (60ml) cooking liquid.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion and salt, if using, and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add the garlic and combined chilli and cook for 1-2 mins or until just tender.
Step 3
Add the passata and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until heated through. Add the prawns and peas and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins or until prawns curl and change colour. Add pasta and reserved cooking liquid. Toss to combine. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter. Season and add lemon juice to taste. Toss to combine.
Step 4
Divide the pasta mixture among serving bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and breadcrumbs to serve.
