Pick a type of fish or meat, then a country, and build from there. That pasta I mentioned above is a cheap'n'easy lush one.

1) Boil a kettle, in the mean time....
2) Get a knife, and on the flat side of it (eg, held horizontally), place that on top of the bulb and apply pressure, this'll help you remove the 'skin'. Chop it up fine. Best way to do this is to do a 'cross chop', where you slice it roughly and then put your hand over the top of the knife and rock it back'n'forth until you get a rough dice.
3) Slice the sun dried tomarto into 3 or soo.
4) Kettle's boiled, pour in saucepan, add a sprinking of salt and oil, get it boiling again, when it's simmering, add the pasta.
5) Fry up some oil on a medium heat, add the sundried tomartos, let them chrisp up a bit, but not black, takes about 3 minutes, stir them every minute or so soo the other side gets done.
6) Add the garlic, a bit more oil if you need it (can use the oil from the sundried tomarto jar if you want, don't want a lot of oil, but remember it's supposed to coat the pasta). When the garlic starts browning (not black, black is burnt and bitter, brown is nice and sweet).
7) If the prawns are cooked (they'll be pink), add them now, they only need heating up, not cooking. If the prawns aren't cook (translucent/gray), fry them 'till they're pink on the outside and split one in half to make sure it's not translucent, if one's done, the rest will be.
8) Pasta should be done, drain the pasta and add to the sauce pan.
9) Mix it all up and serve.
Tip Top Tip: When it comes to pasta, fill your serving bowl between 1/2 and 2/3, the pasta will be the right quantity for your dish =)
I sometimes prefer using crab sticks cut into 3 instead of prawns, but both work.
