Water for the Sauce
Put a large saucepan of water onto boil. We will use it to cook the pasta later. Finely chop the chives or use scissors if it's easier. Zest the lemon (see ingredients for amount), then cut in half.
Trim the courgette and use a vegetable peeler to make ribbons. Run the peeler along the length of the courgette, turning as you go. Once you get to the spongy middle, stop as it will get harder to make ribbons! Pop the the ribbons in a bowl and dress with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt. Keep to one side.
When the water is boiling, add the pasta to the pan with a good pinch of salt. Cook for 11 mins then drain into a colander. In the meantime, cook your sauce.
Pop a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the water (see ingredients for amount) and the stock pot. Stir to dissolve the stock pot, then add the fish mix. Spread the fish pieces out in 1 layer and cover with a lid or foil. Simmer gently for 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: The fish and prawns are cooked when opaque in the middle.
When the fish is cooked, remove the lid and carefully stir in the creme fraiche and lemon zest. Bring to a bubble for a minute or so and remove from the heat. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in half the chives.
Mix the seafood sauce into the spaghetti then share between your bowls. Finish with a delicate bunch of the courgette ribbons and a sprinkle of remaining chives Enjoy!
