This Mediterranean-inspired Greek-style prawn pasta is a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal that brings together the bold flavours of the Aegean. Succulent large prawns are simmered in a rich, caramelised tomato and garlic sauce, brightened with a splash of dry white wine and aromatic oregano. The addition of leafy curly kale adds a wonderful texture and earthy depth, making this a wholesome choice for a midweek dinner.
As a high-protein dish, this recipe is as satisfying as it is healthy, offering a balanced combination of lean seafood and fresh greens. The salty tang of crumbled feta provides the perfect finish, melting slightly into the warm pasta shells to create a creamy coating. Serve this simple yet elegant one-pot meal with a crisp green salad for a complete homemade feast.

How to make Greek-Style Prawns Pasta with Kale
Back to contentsPour tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Shake to release as much juice as possible, then let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over high. Add drained tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add collected tomato juices, oregano, red pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 3 minutes less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Working in batches, add kale to tomato sauce, stirring after each addition, until all kale is wilted. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer pasta to pot with sauce. Add prawns, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally and adding pasta cooking liquid if needed to loosen sauce, until pasta is al dente, prawns are cooked through, and everything is nicely coated in sauce, about 3 minutes.
Divide pasta among bowls. Top with feta and drizzle with oil.
