Featuring a hot, umami blend of Calabrian chillies and peppers, this 'Nduja is completely meat-free but with all the same flavour. It's perfectly paired with the mix of prawns, cod, smoked haddock and salmon in this pasta dish. The fish is what gives it its name - pescatore!

Instructions

1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the root and dark green leafy part from the leek and discard. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

c) Drain the fish pie mix and pat dry with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.

2

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

b) Once hot, add the leek and cook until softened, 4-6 mins.

c) Once softened, add the garlic and fry for 1 min.

d) Stir in the passata, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 mins.

3

a) Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat.

b) Add the linguine and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

4

a) Meanwhile, drain the prawns. Once the sauce has thickened, gently stir through the prawns and fish pie mix. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the fish is cooked, 5-8 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so the fish is opaque in the middle.

b) While the fish is cooking, zest and cut the lemon into wedges (see ingredients for amount). 

5

a) Once the fish is cooked, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

b) Stir through the Italian style cheese, veggie 'Nduja (see ingredients for amount - add less if you'd prefer things milder), honey and butter (see pantry for both amounts), followed by the cooked linguine and lemon juice.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

6

a) Share the linguine pescatore between your serving bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the lemon zest to finish.

Enjoy!

Step 4 MOD: Drain the prawns, add to the pan with the fish mix. Simmer for the same amount of time.
