Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for and then add the peas. Continue to cook for a further until both the pasta and peas are just tender but not too soft. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to cool (skip the cold rinse if you’re serving this as a hot pasta dish).
Meanwhile, for a dressing, roughly chop the chilli (deseed it if you wish), the vine tomatoes, garlic and half of the sundried tomatoes. Place in a small food processor with half of the basil, 2 tablespoons of oil from the sundried tomato jar and the vinegar. Blitz the mixture until smooth, season and transfer to a large bowl.
Chop the remaining sundried tomatoes and add these to the dressing with the pasta, peas and the rest of the basil leaves. Add the cooked prawns, toss together and check the seasoning to taste.
