Cooking steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- Halve and peel the onion. Thinly slice half an onion (per 2P).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the courgette and quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Zest half a lemon (per 2P). Cut into quarters.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.
- Simmer until softened, 10-12 mins.
- When ready, reserve 50ml of the pasta water (per 2P), then drain the pasta in a colander.
- Return the rigatoni to the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
3
- While the pasta cooks, place a pan over medium heat with a glug of oil.
- Once hot, add the courgette and prawns and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
- Add the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, 1-2 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pop in a bowl and cover to keep warm.
4
- Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add the stock and reserved pasta water. Simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 mins.
- Stir in the creme fraiche and cook until piping hot, then season with a pinch of pepper.
5
- Add the pasta to the sauce along with the veg and prawns.
- Stir until everything is well coated and warmed through, 30 secs.
- Add a pinch of lemon zest and lemon juice to taste.
- Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon juice if needed.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.
6
- Serve heaping helpings of creamy prawn pasta in bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese and a scattering of chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice).
