Instructions

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the linguine.

When boiling, add the linguine 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.

2

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

Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

3

Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.

Add a good squeeze of lemon juice to a medium bowl. Mix in the sugar and oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for now.

Drain the prawns.

4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Stir in the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, prawns, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the prawns are cooked and the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

5

Stir in the peas, crab meat, cheese, a good squeeze of lemon and butter (see pantry for amount) until melted, 1-2 mins.

Stir in half of the chives, lemon zest and the cooked linguine. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add the rocket to the lemon salad dressing and toss.

 

6

Share the prawn and crab linguine between your serving bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining chives. Top with any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Serve the rocket salad on the side.

Enjoy!
