Method

  1. Peel and clean the prawns well. Remove the central vein (the intestine) with the tip of a knife and set them aside.
  2. Place a large pot with water on the heat and add a little salt and a splash of olive oil.
  3. When the water comes to a boil, add the spaghetti and cook for the time indicated on the package.
  4. Meanwhile, in a wide frying pan with a little olive oil, sauté the finely chopped onion over medium heat.
  5. When the onion is translucent, add the chopped garlic and sauté everything together for a few minutes until it takes on color.
  6. Add the prawns to the sofrito, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. Add the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate, about 2 or 3 more minutes.
  8. When the wine has reduced, add the cooking cream, mix well and cook for a few minutes over low heat.

  9. Drain the spaghetti and transfer them directly to the frying pan with the sauce. Mix well so the flavors integrate.
  10. Add the grated cheese and stir again, with the heat on, for a few more seconds.
