1

Wash the prawns and set aside.

2

Prepare a pot of salty water on the heat for the pasta later.

3

Chop half a tiny onion finely and crush 2 cloves of garlic, then set aside.

4

If using, chop sun-dried tomatoes finely and set aside.

5

Set a pan on medium-high heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

6

Once the pan is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

7

Add the raw prawns and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pan, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until the prawns start becoming red.

8

Add the handful of ready cooked prawns to the pan.

9

Pour in 100 milliliters of tomato sauce and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

10

Squeeze in a wedge of lemon and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes.

11

Add 50 milliliters of heavy cream to the sauce and bring it back to simmering temperature, then stop the heat.

12

Ensure the linguini pasta is cooked al dente and reserve some pasta water.

13

Add the linguini pasta to the sauce, adjusting the thickness with reserved pasta water if necessary.

14

Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb flavors.

15

Optionally, add chopped chives before serving.

16

Garnish with a good grade of parmigiano-reggiano before serving.
