Garlic prawns angel hair in tomato and chicken broth. Quick recipe under 15 minutes

Sometimes when you get sick and tired of cream pasta and thick tomato sauce pasta, you wish you have other alternatives that are healthier and lighter. That's how I felt today in Sunny Singapore at a scorching 34 degree Celsius.
So I made this quick pasta as I did not want to stay in the kitchen for too long and both my daughters, Trinity and Tiffany loves it and they wiped out their lunch quickly! you can make this pasta within 15 minutes if you prepare your ingredients before hand.

Ingredients
(serves 2 children and 1 adult)
A portion of angel hair
8 Peeled prawns
2 tomatoes sliced into 8 pieces each
1 clove garlic minced
2 small shallots sliced
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Maggi no MSG chicken stock
A pinch of salt (optional)
To garnish:
Freshly cracked pepper
Dried dill

1. Place angel hair in boiling water and cook for one and a half minute. Stirring occasionally. No need to add oil and salt as this will allow pasta to absorb the broth better. Drain well and set aside.
2. Heat wok. Add olive oil.
3. Add shallot and garlic and brown them under low heat.
4. Add prawns and remove from heat when it's cooked.
5. In the same wok with the remaining oil, garlic and shallots, add tomatoes and chicken stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Taste. Add salt if necessary.
7. Add angel hair and prawns. Toss the ingredients well and remove from heat.
8. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and dill.

2 ingredients!!! Super easy and yummy Nutella cake!

Mother's day is near and your little ones or yourself would like to bake a cake for mother dearest but you may not want to invest a lot in baking ingredients as you hardly bake or you have ran out of ingredients and it's raining... What should you do? Fret not!
This 2 ingredients Nutella cake will save your day!
All you need is 240g of melted Nutella spread and 4 room temperature eggs!
It is that simple!
However the catch is you need to have a kitchen mixer because you need to whip the eggs till they TRIPLE in volume. So room temperature eggs helps to whip up the volume easier and melted nutella ensures easier mixing.
My 2 daughters Trinity and Tiffany enjoyed the process and I hope you and your little ones will enjoy it!
I have also made a YouTube video on it and I serve with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries. Click on the YouTube box on the right of my website (website view) to see the video!

The taste?
It doesn't have any nutella taste. It taste like a mud cake, like a rich chocolate cake. Fudgey in the middle and spongey on the outside. It has very good texture and taste which my family found it quite hard to believe that only nutella and eggs were used. The cake is not as sweet as eating nutella straight from the tub. And it is just nice in proportion. So go ahead! Give it a try!

To melt nutella if you have not done so, place nutella in a heatproof bowl over boiling water and stir till melted. This method is known as a double boiler.
