Ingredients

  • 360 g Linguine
  • 225 g Cooked & Peeled Prawns
  • 1 item Onion
  • 2 tbsp Curry Paste
  • 2 tsp Chopped Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
  • 1 tsp Dried Mint
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper

Method

  1. Finely chop the onion, and the fresh herbs.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes until softened. Meanwhile, boil the kettle and cook the linguine in a separate saucepan for around 10 minutes.
  3. Add the curry paste to the frying pan and cook for a further 30 seconds, mixing together and moving around the pan to release the flavours.
  4. Add some of the pasta cooking water, around 12 tablespoons, to the frying pan and stir for around 30 seconds. Then add the prawns, mint, parsley, 1 tbsp coriander, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain (reserving some of the cooking water), and add to the frying pan. Give it a good stir on a very low heat and add a little more cooking water if it's looking too dry.
  6. Serve garnished with the remaining coriander.

Notes

  • A quick prawn pasta dish that is so quick to whip up, mainly from pantry ingredients. This will definitely be on your rotation!

Swaps and substitutes

  • You can use fresh cooked prawns instead of frozen, just add them a little later to ensure they are warmed through.
