Try our pasta dinner with king prawns and Rose Harissa pesto sauce. It only takes 8-10 minutes to make and is a healthy and delicious midweek meal.

Prep Time5 minsCook Time3 minsTotal Time8 mins
 220 g linguine (or spaghetti)
 150 g raw peeled King prawns
 4 spring onions, finely sliced
 50 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
 120 ml creme fraiche
 squeeze of lemon juice
 parmesan for serving
 sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1

Cook the linguine in a pan of boiling salted water until al dente or as directed on the packet. Drain in a colander, reserving some of the cooking water, and set to one side.

2

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the prawns, spring onions and tomatoes.

3

Mix well and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until the prawns are just cooked through.

4

Add the Belazu Rose Harissa Paste, creme fraiche and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil.

5

Add half the basil and tip in the cooked pasta. Add a few tablespoons of the cooking water and mix everything together really well so that the sauce completely coats the lovely linguine.

6

Divide between two serving bowls and top each bowl with the remaining basil. Serve your creamy prawn linguine immediately with grated parmigiano (parmesan).
