Instructions

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt for the pasta and green beans. Meanwhile, trim the green beans and chop into thirds. Trim the courgette then use a vegetable peeler to peel long ribbons from the length of the courgette. Pop in a bowl. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the chilli, deseed and finely chop. Zest and juice the lemon. Finely chop the chives. 

2

Add the pasta to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 11 mins. Add the green beans for the final 5 mins, then drain in a colander.

3

Meanwhile, pop the courgette ribbons and chopped chives into a bowl. Add half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together then set aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and chilli (add as much as you like) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 mins. 

4

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and lemon zest and fry for 2-3 mins, then stir in the prawns and cook for a further 2-3 mins. TIP: Squash the tomatoes with your wooden spoon if they need some help braking down. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

5

Stir in the creme fraiche for 1 min then remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Gently stir together the pasta, beans and sauce (use whichever pan is the biggest). TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if needed.

6

Serve the creamy prawn spaghetti in bowls with the courgette salad on top and enjoy!
