Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

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

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

2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the penne 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.

3

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

Once hot, add the prawns and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Fry until the prawns are cooked through and the mushrooms have softened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Once cooked, stir in the garlic and mixed herbs. Cook for 1 min more.

4

Stir the passata, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the prawns.

Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 mins.

Once thickened, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

5

Once the spinach has wilted, stir through the creme fraiche and hard Italian style cheese.

Stir in the cooked pasta, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

When everything's ready, share the prawn pasta out between your serving bowls.

Enjoy!
