✨ Creamy Tomato Prawn Pasta✨
When you can’t decide between creamy pasta and tomato-y pasta…
…have both! The addition of prawns yes adds some protein but also makes such a delicious accompaniment to the nutty wholegrain pasta and creamy sauce. And, as we always say, pasta for dinner means pasta for lunch, too.
Ingredients
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 large/2 small shallots, finely diced
100g mushrooms, finely diced
280g wholewheat penne pasta
3 garlic cloves, crushed
240g raw king prawns
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
70ml cream
dairy or dairy-free25g grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
dairy or dairy-freeHandful of fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
¼ tsp salt
Pinch of chilli flakes
optional
Method
Begin by heating a saucepan of salted water on the hob. Once boiling add the pasta and cook as per instructions.
Meanwhile heat a pan on medium heat and add the olive oil and diced shallots. Cook for a few minutes until the shallots start to soften.
Next add the diced mushrooms, crushed garlic, and prawns.
Cook until the prawns are pink, then add the chopped tomatoes, cream, parmesan and sliced basil leaves.
Season with salt and the pinch of chilli flakes and combine.
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve some of the pasta water before draining and adding to the sauce.
Stir through and cook for a couple more minutes, adding a splash or two of pasta water if you’d like it more saucy.
Sprinkle over some extra parmesan and a few fresh basil leaves to serve. Enjoy!
