1. Courgette Sauté
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated courgettes and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Mix in the grated garlic and chopped chilli, stirring for a moment until fragrant.
2. Pasta Preparation
Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve a cup of pasta cooking water.
3. Prawn Toss
To the courgette mixture in the frying pan, add the raw king prawns. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the prawns turn a delightful pink and are cooked through.
4. Combine and Serve
Gently toss the cooked tagliatelle with the courgette and prawn mixture. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and finely chopped parsley to the mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Divide between two bowls and serve immediately, ensuring each portion is infused with the vibrant zest and herbs.
