Spaghetti with prawns and rocket

I adore Italian cusines and really enjoy experimenting with pasta dishes. When I found a recipe for spaghetti with prawns, chili and rocket I knew it would be a perfect combination of textures and flavours. Being a meat free recipe week, it's also a great alternative to my favorite Spaghetti Bolognese.
The dish is super quick and easy to make. The timing is important, so it’s good to do the preps and have all the ingredients handy. Wow factor is guaranted in just 30 minutes for all pasta and seafood lovers.
I will definitively be coming back to it more often.

Ingredients (for 3 hungry people)
400g dried spaghetti
1 – 2 long chilies, crumbled
Extra virgin olive oil
200g prawns
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
100g of wild rocket
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook spaghetti in a large pan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions.

While spaghetti is cooking, heat around 100ml extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan and toss in the garlic and chilies. When the garlic begins to colour, add prawns and sauté them for few minutes. Be careful not to overcook them. When they are pink and become 'C' shaped, they are done!

Remove from heat, add spaghetti, lemon zest and juice, fold through the rocket and stir.

Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
