One of the greatest pastas Italy has created is also one of its simplest: the glorious aglio e olio, pasta with just garlic, olive oil and chilli. And yet, it appears you can build on perfection. One of our favourite pasta recipes on taste.com.au is linguine with prawns, which riffs on this classic. Plump king prawns are seared in the oil mixture and a handful of fresh rocket leaves are tossed with the pasta at the last moment.
