- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain; toss with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large frypan over medium heat and cook and stir the eschallots and mushrooms until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the grape tomatoes and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook and stir until tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the prawns and cook until the prawns just begin to turn pink, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until prawns are opaque, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach; once spinach has wilted, stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until all ingredients are heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve over the cooked spaghetti.

This is fantabulous! My husband was still raving about it this morning. My daughter took a small portion and immediately went back and got more. Only made a few modifications: 1. used fat free half and half and worked out great 2. sprinkled just a bit of red pepper on as was suggested by another for a little zing 3. used linguini noodles just because I think spaghetti noodles are boring 4. used cooked shrimp and added later in process as I had them on hand-would not advise doing this as they got a little tough, recommend following the recipe. It was also a very pretty dish! Thanks! - 03 Jun 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Most excellently orchestrated! Totally delish. Didn't change a thing except to add tomatoes at the end. So, when are you going to create another masterpiece? - 28 May 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was so easy and yummy! I made enough for leftovers, thank goodness, because we absolutely loved this recipe. I added about a teaspoon of red pepper, just for spiciness, while cooking the mushrooms and shallots. I also substituted 2 tablespoons of butter for olive oil. This recipe is definitely a keeper. - 25 May 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
