👋 Defrost the prawns in cold water or in the fridge overnight before cooking this recipe.
Fry the garlic with the oil in a frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat for a couple of minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the directions on the packet.
In the same frying pan, over a medium heat, add the prawns and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour in the rosé wine and deglaze the pan by scraping anything on the bottom of the pan into the sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid has nearly disappeared. Add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water, then add the tomato paste and crème fraîche and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the heat down.
When the spaghetti is al dente, drain well, then add it to the pan with the sauce and mix to make sure the pasta soaks up the sauce. Serve into some pasta bowls, grate some Grana Padano on top and sprinkle with the fried garlic.
