Method
-
step 1
Cook the pasta following pack instructions then drain, reserving a mug of the pasta water.
-
step 2
Meanwhile put the oil and ¼ of the butter in a large deep, frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot add the prawns and cook for 2 mins until they're pink and cooked through, then set aside.
-
step 3
Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining butter, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the double cream and parmesan and heat for 2 mins until the parmesan has melted, but don't let it boil.
-
step 4
Add the pasta, prawns and parsley and toss together so it all is coated, adding a splash of pasta water to loosen if needed. Season to taste.
-
step 5
Serve with a generous grating of parmesan and sprinkling of parsley.
