Steps:
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to pack instructions.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, split the chillies down the centre lengthways. Using a teaspoon and starting at the top, scoop the seeds from the flesh - add these if you like your food hot. Using a sharp knife, cut the chillies in thin strips, bundle them together and cut across to make squares.
- Drain the spaghetti, toss with a drizzling of olive oil and set aside. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or sauté pan over a high heat and add the prawns. Stir in the chillies, season, then add the spaghetti. Remove from the heat, fold through the rocket and stir.

ROCKET & CHILLI SPAGHETTI
I adapted this recipe from a non veggie friendly Jamie Oliver recipe which had parmesan and anchovies in it. I love this as its got a really perky flavour and its quick to make!

Steps:
- Heat a wide saucepan or frying pan over a medium heat and add half the extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the garlic, chilli and capers and fry gently for a minute or so. Add 2 handfuls of the rocket, the lemon zest and a good squeeze from half the lemon (you dont need all of it)and add half of the nutrional yeast, then remove from the heat. The rocket will wilt from the heat - mix it well with the garlic, chilli and capers.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water, according to the packet instructions, and drain.
- Toss together with the rocket and chilli sauce.
- Season well with salt and pepper and serve with some of the reserved fresh rocket with more nutritional yeast and olive oil on top.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown, about 3 minutes. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish.
- If you can't find wild rocket, you can substitute baby arugula or spinach.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more chili flakes. If you prefer a milder dish, use less chili flakes or omit them altogether.
- Serve the spaghetti immediately after tossing it with the sauce. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Wild rocket and chili spaghetti is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of spicy chili, bitter rocket, and nutty pine nuts creates a delicious and well-balanced dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
