Presto Prawn and Mushroom Linguine

a) While the pasta cooks, place the garlic baguettes onto a baking tray. Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden and piping hot, 12-15 mins.

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

c) Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Drain the prawns.

b) Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and prawns.

c) Cook, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

a) Once the prawns are cooked, stir in the garlic and cook for 30 secs.

b) When the pasta has 4 mins left, add the beans to the same pan and cook for the remaining time.

c) Once the pasta and beans are cooked, reserve some of the pasta water (see pantry for amount), then drain in a colander. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent it sticking.

a) Stir the reserved pasta water, creme fraiche and veg stock paste into the mushrooms and prawns, simmer for 2-3 mins. 

b) Add the cooked pasta, beans and hard Italian style cheese to the sauce and gently toss to coat.

c) Add another splash of water if the sauce is a bit thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
