Stir the prawns, lemon zest and a squeeze of juice through the sauce and simmer for 2 mins or until the prawns have defrosted. Season to taste, adding a pinch of sugar to balance the favours, if needed, and another 1 tsp harissa, if you like.
Add the spaghetti and broccoli to the sauce along with most of the cheese. Toss together well, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining cheese, a squeeze more lemon juice and extra black pepper to serve.
