Green pesto and prawns are a fast pair. The pasta boils, the prawns fry for three minutes, and the pesto only joins at the end.

Ingredients

Forserving
  • 90 gSpaghetti, dry weight
  • 150 gPrawns, peeled
  • 40 gGreen pesto (2 tbsp)
  • 100 gCherry tomatoes
  • 5 gOlive oil (1 tsp)
  • Garlic, lemon, pepper

How to make it

  1. Cook the spaghetti, keeping a cup of the cooking water.
  2. Fry the prawns with the garlic in the oil for two minutes a side, adding the halved tomatoes for the last minute.
  3. Pasta into the pan, pesto and a splash of the water, take it off the heat and toss.
  4. Lemon and pepper over the top.

One tip

Do not heat pesto. It goes into the pan once the hob is off, otherwise it turns bitter and brown.
