Instructions

1

- Fill and boil your kettle.
-Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop.
-Finely chop the chives. TIP: If you've got a pair of sharp kitchen scissors they'll make short work of the chives! 
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
-Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan on high heat and bring back to the boil.

2

- Add the veggie stock powder to your pan of water and stir to dissolve. 

-Add the spaghetti, bring to the boil and cook for 8 mins. 

-When the pasta is cooked, reserve some cooking stock (see ingredients list for amount) then drain the spaghetti into a colander.

3
  • Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. 
    - Add the pancetta and a pinch of chilli and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins. 
    - Add the prawns, cook for 2 mins. 
    - Add the garlic and mix through. Cook for another minute.
4
  • Add the reserved pasta stock to the sauce. 
     - Turn the heat to low and add the creme fraiche and half of the chives. 
     - Stir and simmer until the prawns are cooked through and the sauce is piping hot, another 2-3 mins. 
    -IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the centre.
5

-Stir the drained pasta into your sauce and gently mix. 

- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
  • Serve the pasta in bowls and finish with a sprinkle of the remaining chives and chilli. Top with some rocket. Tuck in!
