Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Cook linguine al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.
  2. Slowly warm sliced garlic in olive oil until just golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add prawns and pepper flakes, cook 2 minutes per side.
  4. Toss in drained pasta with a splash of pasta water. Toss vigorously.
  5. Finish with lemon juice, parsley, and serve immediately.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 14 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
