Step 3

While the pasta cooks, wipe the frying pan clean and set over a low heat. Melt the remaining butter, add the garlic and gently sizzle for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the prawns and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, until pink and opaque all over.

Step 4

Drain the spaghetti, reserving a ladle of cooking water. Toss the pasta into the prawns over a medium heat, until well coated. Pour in 75ml reserved water, add the rocket and toss over the heat until wilted and the sauce clings to the pasta. Check the seasoning, then serve topped with the smoky breadcrumbs.
