d) In the meantime, drain the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper.

a) Once thickened, stir the prawns into the tomato sauce and cook for 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

b) Meanwhile, roughly chop the charred courgette rounds.

c) In a small bowl, mix together the chopped courgette and a pinch of chilli flakes (use less if you'd prefer things milder).

a) Add the cooked pasta, cheese and half the charred courgette mixture to the sauce.

b) Mix well to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

d) Enjoy!
