Method
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well (saving a little of the cooking water). Return the pasta to the pan, drizzle with a little olive oil and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the grated courgette, garlic and chilli, season well and fry for 1-2 minutes until softened slightly. Add the prawns, lime zest and juice and fry for 1-2 minutes until the prawns turn pink. Stir in the crème fraîche and warm through, then add a little of the reserved cooking water to make more sauce, if necessary.
- Toss the prawn mixture with the hot cooked pasta until well mixed, then serve with lime wedges to squeeze over, if you like.

Love this recipe and make it regularly. Usually do it with dried tagliatelle. Very quick and easy for midweek but also works for casual entertaining – just bear in mind that you’ll be cooking it at the last minute
Great flavours for a midweek dinner
