Ingredients

  • 20 g parmesan cheese, finely grated (I use my microplane)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • zest of a small lemon
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons finely diced red onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (to taste)
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 1 (400 g) can tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 300 g crawfish meat (yabby)

Method

  • Combine the parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until softened, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, then add in the chilli flakes and white wine. Cook to reduce a little.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juice and the chciken stock powder. Cook until reduced and thickened (mine took about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat).
  • While this is happening, cook some pasta to serve the sauce over. We had penne, I would have preferred angel hair though!
  • When the sauce is thickened to your liking, add in the capers and yabby meat and cook a further 2 or 3 minutes to heat the yabbies through.
  • Serve over pasta with the parmesan, parsley zest mix sprinkled over the top.
