Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Dry pasta

250 g, spaghettini variety

Raw peeled prawns

Instructions

  1. Fill and boil the kettle. Pour boiling water into a large saucepan and return to the boil over high heat. Cook pasta in boiling salted water, following packet instructions, or until just tender. Drain, reserving ½ cup (125ml) cooking liquid.
