Instructions
- Cook your spaghetti in a large pan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan and toss in the garlic and chili. As the garlic starts to brown, add the prawns and sauté them for a minute.
- Add the white wine and the tomato purée and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- When the pasta is ready, drain it in a colander, reserving a little of the cooking water.
- Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, squeeze in the lemon juice, and add the chopped parsley.
- If the pasta looks too dry, add a little of the reserved cooking water if you want to loosen the sauce a bit.
- Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
- Plate the pasta and sprinkle with the grated lemon zest and parmesan. Mix well. Enjoy your pasta hot!
