Ingredients
Method
Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of rapidly boiling water until al dente. Drain.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the lime rind, garlic, chilli and capers and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until the prosciutto is crisp.
Add the spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat and heat through.
To serve, toss the rocket and lime juice through the pasta and pile into serving bowls. Top with the marinated feta, a little of its oil and cracked black pepper.
Serves 4.
note - If prosciutto is not available, substitute with bacon rashers. Remove the rinds before chopping.
