Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the prawns and cook over high heat until they are just tender (3-4 minutes). Remove them from the pan and add the chopped tomatoes, extra herbs, parsley, salt (pepper, if wished) and wine. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until thick and reduced. In the last minute add the pepper pieces to the sauce.
Shell the prawns, lay them in a dish and sprinkle lightly with salt.
drain the pasta and add it and prawns to the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
