- Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain and reserve a little cooking liquid.
- While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add the lemon zest and let cook for about 5 minutes. Sieve the oil and return to pot.
- Add the garlic and prawns, cook about 3 minutes, stir occasionally. Season with salt pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta with just a little bit of the cooking liquid. Toss together thoroughly with the chopped fresh basil, and serve.

This was an easy one to follow an the only change I made was to add a small amount of dried chilli flakes in with the garlic to infuse with the oil - 06 Jan 2012
