Spaghetti with prawns and garlic sauce

Just want to share the recipe that I haven't tasted but seems very tasty.

Ingredients: (serves 4)
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp finely diced red pepper
2 tbsp tomato puree
125 ml/4 fl oz dry white wine
450 g/1 lb spaghetti or tagliatelle
350 g/12 oz raw shelled prawns
125 ml/4 fl oz double cream
salt and pepper
3 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

 Method: 
1.) Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper. Fry for a few seconds until the garlic is just beginning to colour. Stir in the tomato puree and wine. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring.
2.) Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain and return to the saucepan.
3.) Add the prawns to the sauce and raise the heat to the medium-high. Cook for two minutes, stirring, until the prawns turn pink. Reduce the heat and stir in the cream. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4.) Transfer the spaghetti to a warmed serving dish and pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley. Toss well to mix and serve at once.

I'll upload the photo later.. Hope you'll like it! Enjoy =)
