Cook the pasta - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. - Don't forget to salt the water before you add the pasta – this helps to flavor the pasta from the inside out. Make sure to reserve some of the cooking water, which will be used later to loosen up the sauce if it becomes too thick. If you prefer your pasta more on the well-done side, you can cook it for an extra minute or two.

Prepare the sauce - While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add diced garlic, grated ginger and red pepper flakes and stir for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the prawns and stir occasionally until they're pink and cooked through. Stir in soy sauce and cook for an additional 30 seconds. - Be careful not to overcook the garlic or it can become bitter. The prawns should take about 3-4 minutes to cook through, depending on their size. Don't be afraid to adjust the heat – if the garlic or ginger starts to brown too much, lower the heat slightly to avoid burning it. If you don't eat seafood, you can substitute with chicken, tofu or vegetables.

Combine sauce and pasta - Add cooked pasta to the skillet with prawns and sauce. Use tongs to toss everything together until the pasta is completely coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a few spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water to loosen it up. - It's best to add the pasta to the skillet instead of the other way around, as this allows the pasta to pick up all the flavors from the sauce. Don't be afraid to use your hands if the tongs aren't doing the trick – the goal is to fully coat the pasta with sauce.

Serve and garnish - Plate the pasta and top with sliced spring onions and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
