Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty tomato sauce and prawns, though some found it a bit bland and wanted more spice or garlic.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with clear instructions, though some found the timing tricky for perfectly cooked prawns.
- Suggestions: Consider adding extra chilli, garlic, or herbs for more flavour; integrate the courgettes into the pasta rather than as a topping.
- Portions: Several felt there were too few prawns compared to the amount of pasta; consider ordering extra prawns if available.
