Drop pasta into a boiling, salted water. Cook until al dente, according to the packet instructions.

Before spaghetti is ready, get half of olive oil into a frying pan. Put on high heat. Season the prawns with salt and pepper, and still fry until cooked (approximately 3 minutes). Remove prawns and let the pan cool down.

On frying pan mix remaining olive oil with garlic and chillies, set to low hit to allow flavours to infuse into the oil.

As soon as you drain the spaghetti, return it into to the pot you been cooking it in. Add butter, chives and season with freshly ground black pepper.

Add prawns, lemon juice and parmesan into the pasta, give it a stir and enjoy.
