- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 8 minutes, until al dente, then drain, reserving a cupful of pasta water. Add the beaten eggs and Parmesan and toss with the spaghetti until well coated.
- Toss in the prawns, adding a splash of pasta water to create a silky sauce. Leave to sit for 1 minute until the prawns are warmed through, then stir in most of the parsley.
- Serve immediately with the remaining parsley scattered over the top and extra Parmesan, if you like.
