Ingredients
- 360g essential spaghetti
- 25g butter
- 2 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Chipotle Chilli Flakes, to taste
- 3 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
- 350g frozen Essential Supersweet Sweetcorn
- 300g frozen Essential Cooked Peeled Prawns, defrosted and patted dry
- 25g pack basil, most leaves chopped, few small ones reserved
- 4 tbsp Essential Italian Ricotta
- 1 Essential Lemon, scrubbed, zested
Method
Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water according to pack instructions.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the chilli flakes and garlic, then cook gently for a couple of minutes until the garlic is starting to colour. Tip the corn into the pan and fry on a high heat until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the prawns and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until piping hot throughout.
Reserve a mug of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and tip it into the frying pan, then toss with the corn and prawns, adding a little pasta water to help the pan juices coat the pasta. Stir through the chopped basil and ricotta. Divide between 4 plates, then sprinkle with the basil leaves and lemon zest to serve.
Cook’s tip
If chopping garlic is time-consuming, you can finely grate it instead. A fine microplane grater or the small-holed side of a regular box grater will do the job well.
