Cooking Steps

1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water. Add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 8 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return orecchiette to saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and prawns are pink, 3-4 minutes. • Add the butter, brown sugar, baby spinach leaves and cooked orecchiette. Stir until spinach is wilted.
