- Fine salt, to taste
- 4garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Method
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the packet instructions. Keep a mugful of pasta water before draining.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and half the butter in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and chopped chilli and fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant and softened but not coloured.
- Pour in the wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes until reduced by about half. Add the prawns and cook for 2–3 minutes, turning, until pink and opaque throughout.
- Tip the drained linguine into the pan with a generous splash of pasta water and toss to combine.
- Add the remaining butter along with the lemon zest and juice, and toss vigorously over the heat for a minute until the sauce turns glossy and clings to every strand. Loosen with more pasta water if needed.
- Taste before adding salt and pepper, scatter with chopped parsley and serve straight away, with the optional rocket alongside.
