Instructions

Get Started
1

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

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount).

Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces.

Char the Courgette
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins total. Turn only every couple of mins.

Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the courgette to a bowl.

Wipe out the pan. 

Fry the Prawns
3

Meanwhile, drain the prawns. Heat another drizzle of oil in the large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns.

Cook the Pasta
4

Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the water and bring back to the boil.

Cook until tender, 8 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Make the Sauce
5

Add the garlic and rosemary to the frying pan and cook for 1 min more, then stir through the creme fraiche, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook the sauce until thickened slightly and the prawns are cooked through, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so the prawns are opaque in the middle.

Add the spaghetti, courgette and half of the Italian style cheese to the pan and mix well.

Finish and Serve
6

Squeeze some lemon juice and add a pinch of lemon zest to the pasta. Taste and season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if needed.

Add a splash of water to the sauce if it''s looking a little thick.

Share the creamy prawn spaghetti between your bowls and sprinkle over the remaining cheese.

Enjoy!
