Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to the boil
Pull out a large frying pan, a grater, a measuring jug & a sieve

Fry the chorizo

Slice each chorizo in half, then cut each half into 3 half-moons
Heat the large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo and fry for 5 mins, stirring frequently

Cook the pasta & finish the prep

Add the casarecce to the saucepan and boil for 8-9 mins, until cooked. Reserve 100ml pasta water (50ml for 1 person), then drain
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Zest and quarter the lemon. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Rinse the spinach. Drain the prawns

Build the flavour

Add the tomatoes, garlic, prawns and sundried tomato paste to the pan and fry for 2 mins
Add the reserved pasta water and bring to the boil, then simmer on medium-high heat for 7 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through
In the final minute, stir the spinach into the sauce and cook until wilted

Plate up

Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
Stir the pasta and the juice from half the lemon (or to taste) into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper
Share the pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest to finish. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges, for squeezing over
