Cooking Steps

Boil the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the tagliatelle
  • When boiling, add the tagliatelle to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 3-4 mins. 
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. 
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Get Prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
  • Zest half a lemon (per 2P). Cut into thick wedges. 
Time to Fry
3
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once the pan is hot, add the onion.
  • Fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. 

NOTE: Adding bacon? Fry in the hot pan until starting to brown, 3-5 mins, before adding the veg.

Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Add creme fraiche, garlic, half the tarragon, 50ml water (per 2P) and stock to the pan. 
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. 
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.
Cook the Prawns
5
  • Stir the prawns into the sauce.
  • Simmer until the prawns are cooked through, 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. 
  • Add another splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Toss the drained pasta and lemon zest through the sauce. 
  • Season to taste with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Divide the prawn pasta between bowls.
  • Garnish with remaining tarragon and a lemon wedge.
