Absolutely delicious the first night and terrific re-heated in the microwave the next; which can rarely be said for leftover pasta dishes.

This was fantastic! I loved the toasted sesame seeds in this. I omitted the shrimp, only because I didn't have any. But it was great without it. I used whole wheat linguine, because thats what I had on hand. I also cut back the size to make for one. All in all, great flavor and an easy recipe. Thanks anonymous for posting this recipe.

Perhaps i miscalculated the proportions or my expectations of this dish were somewhat different but i was a bit disapointed w/ the outcome. However, this is not to say this dish is BAD! I would have probably minced the garlic instead of pressing them and i would have sauteed the prawns with some chilli flakes and garlic as well for a bit of taste! Also, if u do not have the right amount of spaghetti on hand, dont fret! this is easily enough for 8 people!
