  • Finely grated lemon zest (2 g)

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Tip the drained linguine into the pan with a generous splash of pasta water and toss to combine.
  5. 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.
  6. Taste before adding salt and pepper, scatter with chopped parsley and serve straight away, with the optional rocket alongside.
