Method
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water following the packet instructions. Save a mug of the cooking water before draining.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over a medium heat, fry the thinly sliced garlic and chilli in the olive oil for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the defrosted, patted-dry prawns and fry for 2–3 minutes until pink.
Add the spinach and the drained spaghetti with a splash of cooking water, and toss until the spinach wilts.
Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve with parsley and grated parmesan.
