Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the pasta.

b) Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Roast the Tomatoes
2

a) Pop the tomatoes onto a piece of foil.

b) Drizzle over some olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and the sugar (see pantry for amount).

c) Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel, then place onto a small baking tray.

d) When the oven is hot, roast the tomato parcel on the top shelf until softened, 12-15 mins.

Pasta Time
3

a) Meanwhile, add the rigatoni to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.

b) Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Add the Prawns
4

a) While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Drain the prawns.

b) Once hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), veg stock paste and prawns. Bring to the boil, then simmer until the prawns are cooked, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Bring on the Creamy Sauce
5

a) Once the prawns are cooked, stir in the creme fraiche, bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

b) Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander, then add to the pan of creamy sauce along with the peas and heat through for 1-2 mins.

c) Stir through the cheese, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When everything's piping hot, spoon the creamy prawn pasta into your bowls and drizzle over the fresh pesto.

b) Carefully remove your roasted tomatoes from the foil and serve them on top. Spoon over the tomato juices from the parcel.

c) Serve the baby leaves alongside with a drizzle of oil to finish.

Enjoy!
