Ingredients

Method

  1. Place chorizo in a food processor and whiz until finely chopped. Set aside.
  2. Cook spaghetti in a large pan of salted boiling water according to instructions. Add corn cobs to pasta for the final 6 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving ⅓ cup (80ml) cooking liquid.
  3. Allow corn to cool slightly, then slice kernels from the cob. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large frying pan over medium–high heat and cook chorizo, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until golden. Add prawns and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, then add lemon juice, tomato, basil (reserving a few leaves to serve), spaghetti, corn, reserved cooking liquid and olive oil, season, and toss to combine.
  5. To serve, divide pasta among serving bowls, drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with reserved basil leaves.
