Perciatelli with Prawns and Garlic Breadcrumbs

This prawn perciatelli with garlic breadcrumbs is a bright and textural Mediterranean-inspired dish. By using thick, hollow perciatelli pasta, the light sauce of olive oil, lemon and capers is captured perfectly, ensuring every mouthful is packed with flavour. The contrast between the succulent, pan-seared prawns and the golden, crunchy breadcrumbs creates a restaurant-quality finish that is satisfyingly simple to achieve at home.

As a high-protein pasta dish, this meal is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious but comforting dinner. The addition of fresh Italian parsley and zesty lemon peel provides a vibrant lift, cutting through the richness of the garlic-infused oil. Serve this dish immediately to enjoy the crispness of the toasted crumbs against the silken pasta and tender seafood.
