Sometimes, the best meals are the simplest ones. Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Prawns is a classic Italian-inspired dish that highlights clean flavours — garlic, olive oil and fresh seafood — coming together in a light yet deeply satisfying plate of pasta.
With HEXA Food Pasta Seasoning Aglio Olio, you can recreate this restaurant-style dish at home easily, even on busy weekdays. One seasoning delivers consistent flavour every time, making home cooking stress-free and enjoyable.
What Is Aglio Olio?
“Aglio Olio” comes from Italian words:
-
Aglio = garlic
-
Olio = olive oil
Traditionally, it is a minimalist pasta that relies on good ingredients and proper technique rather than heavy sauces. This makes it:
-
Lighter than creamy pastas
-
Easier to digest
-
Perfect for both lunch and dinner
Adding prawns enhances the dish with natural sweetness and protein, making it a complete and balanced meal.
Why This Recipe Works
✔️ Balanced flavour — aromatic garlic without overpowering
✔️ Light yet satisfying — not oily, not creamy
✔️ Beginner-friendly — minimal steps, high success rate
✔️ Family-approved — suitable for kids and adults
Using stainless steel cookware also helps maintain flavour purity, as it does not react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
1️⃣ Cook the spaghetti in well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
2️⃣ Sauté the prawns briefly in olive oil until just cooked. Remove and set aside to avoid overcooking.
3️⃣ Build the aroma by sautéing garlic, cherry tomatoes and capsicum until fragrant. Keep heat moderate to prevent garlic from burning.
4️⃣ Season the dish with HEXA Food Pasta Seasoning Aglio Olio, adding a splash of pasta water to create a light sauce.
5️⃣ Combine everything by adding spaghetti, prawns and baby spinach. Toss well so the pasta absorbs the flavours evenly.
6️⃣ Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and aroma.
Pro Cooking Tips You’ll Actually Use
✨ Why pasta water matters
Starchy pasta water helps emulsify olive oil and seasoning, creating a silky coating without cream.
✨ Avoid bitter garlic
Always sauté garlic on medium-low heat. Burnt garlic can turn the dish bitter.
✨ Perfect prawn texture
Cook prawns just until they turn pink. Overcooking makes them rubbery.
Ingredient Substitutions & Variations
-
No prawns? Substitute with mushrooms, clams, or sliced chicken
-
Like it spicy? Add chilli flakes or fresh chilli slices
-
Extra freshness? Finish with lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice
-
More protein? Add grilled salmon or pan-seared scallops
This recipe is highly adaptable, making it perfect for using whatever you have in the fridge.
Storage & Reheating Tips
-
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day
-
Reheat gently with a splash of water or olive oil
-
Avoid microwaving on high heat to prevent drying out the pasta
