Creamy Prawn Linguine Pasta
Ingredients:
– 12 oz linguine pasta
– 1 lb large prawns, peeled and deveined
– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup white wine
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
1. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the prawns and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
