Method
1. Cook the pasta according to packet directions, drain it and then set it aside but make sure to keep it warm.
2. Combine the chicken stock, cornstarch and snipped or dried basil in a small mixing bowl before setting it aside as well.
3. Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms, capsicum, and garlic in hot oil in a large frypan for about 3 minutes or until the pepper is slightly tender.
4. Add the stock mixture and undrained tomatoes, cook and stir till it's nice and bubbly.
5. Add the prawns then cover and simmer it for about 2 minutes or till the sauce is heated through.
6. Then spoon the prawn mixture over the pasta, and if you want, top it with cheese (yes please) and garnish it with fresh basil leaves. We bet you there won't be anything left on the plate. Yep, this dish is that good.
