Instructions

Prep the Veggies
1

a) Fill and boil your kettle. b) Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop. c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). d) Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan on high heat, add 1/2 tsp of salt and bring back to the boil.

Cook the Pasta
2

a) Add the spaghetti (see ingredients for amount you need), bring to the boil and cook for 8 mins. b) When the pasta is cooked, reserve some cooking water (see ingredients for amount) then drain the spaghetti into a colander.

Start the Sauce
3

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. b) Add the bacon lardons and a pinch of chilli and cook, stirring, until the bacon lardons are golden, 2-3 mins. c) Add the prawns, cook for 2 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat and prawns. Cook lardons thoroughly. d) Add the garlic and mix through. Cook for another minute.

Finish the Sauce

Mix well to dissolve the stock. b) Turn the heat to low and add the creme fraiche. c) 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.
