Garlic prawn spaghetti
- 1In a large pan of boiling, salted water, cook spaghetti according to packet instructions. Drain. Return to pan; cover to keep warm.

- 4In a small bowl, combine the cornflour and water; stir until smooth and add to the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens. Season to taste with salt. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cream sauce.
- 5Add remaining cream sauce to the spaghetti; mix thoroughly to coat. Stir in half of the parsley.
- 6Divide spaghetti between four serving bowls. Toss the prawns in the reserved cream sauce; spoon over spaghetti. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley.
