Ingredients

  • 175g linguine
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove , finely sliced
  • 100ml white wine

  • juice ½ lemon (or to taste)
  • 2 handfuls (150g) raw peeled prawns
  • small bunch chives , finely chopped

Method

  1. Cook the pasta. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the garlic for 2 mins. Tip in the wine and bubble over a high heat for 1 min, then lower the heat and stir in the crème fraîche and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and plenty of black pepper. Simmer for 1 min to reduce a little, then add the prawns and simmer in the sauce until just pink.
