Serves 4
Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup or 60 ml of the cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan (off heat) with the reserved liquid and toss.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep frypan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 20 second or until fragrant. Add prawns, stir for 2 minutes or until beggining to color. Add the pasta and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Season sauce to taste with sugar, salt and pepper.
Divide pasta among bowls, top with prawns and serve garnished with basil.
