Ingredients
dash of olive oil
1 onion, sliced
2 leeks, sliced
500g of prawns
zest of 2 lemons
150ml cream
2 large handful of baby spinach, roughly chopped
75g Parmesan, finely grated
Method
Put the pasta on to boil in lightly salted water and drain when cooked.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion over a low heat until it is soft. Add the leeks and continue to sauté until they too are soft. Keeping a lid on the pan helps.
Set them aside and using the same pan add a little more oil and over a higher heat gently stir fry the prawns until they are all pink. The taste from the onions and leeks cooked previously will flavour them.
Stir the lemon zest and cream into the prawns.
Toss the warm pasta with the spinach, add the leek and onions and then the prawns. Coat everything in the creamy mixture and the grated Parmesan. Taste, season and serve.
