    Chilli, tomato and prawn linguine

    Just made this based on a dish I had a Zizzi's and it was YUM! Really lovely rich tasting tomato sauce with a bit of a kick. The longer you leave it to simmer the better, but 10/15 mins is enough. To really get a nice flavour in the sauce, I used olive oil and sugar, but you could use fry...

    Thanks everyone, that's really helpful. I think I will try to do both - stick to 10 syns a day and eat loads of superfree food! I have been eating quite a lot of pasta etc, and do mainly green days, so maybe I'll try to cut that down a little and stock up on free veggies instead.... Thanks x
