- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once melted and foaming, cook for 1-2 mins, stirring a few times, until the butter darkens slightly to a deep golden brown and starts to smell nutty. Add the leek and fry for 6-8 mins until softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 min until fragrant.
- Stir in the spaghetti, prawns, lemon zest and juice, and most of the dill. Add the reserved pasta water and toss everything together until the prawns are piping hot and the sauce coats the spaghetti. Serve topped with the reserved dill and lots of black pepper.
