Instructions

Pasta Time
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt.

When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Finish the Prep
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Drain the prawns. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.

Add the Flavour
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and fry until fragrant, 1 min. 

Sauce It Up
4

Once fragrant, stir through the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower to a simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.

Cook the Prawns
5

Stir in the prawns and cook for another 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Finish and Serve
6

Once the prawns are cooked, stir through the peas, cooked pasta and butter for the sauce (see pantry for amount) until the butter has melted, 1 min more.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.

Share your Cajun prawn pasta between your bowls.

Enjoy!
