Method

  1. 1

    Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving a large cup of pasta water.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, flake the mackerel into chunks and mix gently with the horseradish sauce, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook for 2 minutes, then add the spinach and wilt.

  4. 4

    Add the drained pasta and a good splash of pasta water, tossing to coat. Remove from the heat and fold in the mackerel mixture.

  5. 5

    Scatter over the parsley and serve immediately.
