Heat olive oil in a sautéuse pan (or similar) and add the garlic cloves, chilli and parsley stalks – allow these to gently sizzle and infuse the oil.
After several minutes, add the tomatoes – the pan will splutter so be careful!
Stir the tomatoes to combine with the oil base, then start to add some of your prawn stock by the ladle, letting it cook down and reduce gently. Typically, I add about 3 ladles of stock – you may have some leftover. Use your best judgement on how much to add, tasting as you go. The texture should be a little jammy but not dry. Season to taste.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil for your linguine.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions if using dry. If made fresh, cook for 4-5 minutes assuming you’ve allowed the linguine to dry for a couple of hours. Test a strand as you go to ensure the linguine is al dente.
Right before the linguine is done, remove the garlic, chilli and parsley stalks from the pan.
Stir through the prawn meat, a handful of chopped parsley – check the seasoning is to your taste – then add the linguine directly to the sauce, taking with it some of its cooking water.
Toss to marry, serve family style or individually. Top with anchovy pangrattato, and enjoy!
