step 1
Bring a large pan filled with salted hot water to boil. Add the spaghettoni (200 g) and cook for 12-14 minutes, until al dente.
step 2
Meanwhile, add the pistachio kernels (60 g) to a high-powered blender. Blitz the pistachios on high, until finely chopped. Add the basil (30 g), reserving a small handful to garnish, and 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil (2 tbsp) along with a big pinch of salt, and blitz until smooth.
step 3
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tbsp garlic olive oil (1 tbsp). Add the prawns (200 g) and Calabrian chilli paste (1 tsp) and cook for 4-5 minutes, until cooked through.
step 4
Add a pinch of salt and the pistachio pesto. Use tongs to drain in the cooked spaghettoni and mix. Add the lemon zest (1) and a squeeze of juice, if you’d like.
step 5
Serve in bowls, topped with a little extra basil.
