Creamy Guacamole Pasta


This is another of my favourite mid-week dinner recipes. I hate avocados but I once went to an italian cafe in my hometown, Leamington Spa and had the most amazing panini that had Guacamole in. So I went home and created this dish, that is quick, easy and simple. 

Creamy Guacamole Pasta

Ingredients (serves 4):
260g pancetta cubes
350g cooked, peeled prawns
2tsp hot chilli powder
400g tinned plum tomatoes
Or
A large handful, fresh cherry tomatoes
200g guacamole
600g fresh spaghetti

Method:
1)      Fry the pancetta cubes in olive oil, preferably extra-virgin or garlic flavoured.
2)      After the pancetta is browning slightly, add the prawns and wait until all of the liquid evaporates.
3)      Whilst the pancetta and prawns are frying, cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
4)      Once all of the liquid has been absorbed from the pancetta and prawns, add the chilli powder and tomatoes and stir thoroughly.
5)      Cook for a further 2 minutes then turn the heat off and add the cooked spaghetti to the pan.
6)      Stir through the guacamole, and serve with freshly ground sea salt and black pepper.
7)      ENJOY!
