Frequently asked questions

Prawn pasta
Ingredients
- 200 g gluten free spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion (diced)
- 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced – you can add more or less depending on your preference)
- 10 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 150 g ready cooked prawns
- Salt and black pepper
- Juice of half a lemon
- Handful fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil on the hob and add your gluten free pasta. Cook (I tend to find cooking gluten free pasta for a minute or two less than it states on the packet stops it from breaking!), drain and set aside. Save a little of your pasta water in a mug.
- Meanwhile add your olive oil to a saucepan on a medium to high heat. Add your onion, spring onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
- Next add your cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes start to release their juices slightly. Add your prawns and cook for a further couple of minutes.
- Turn the heat to low and add your cooked gluten free pasta and a splash of pasta water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and add your lemon juice. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Remove from the heat and serve with fresh parsley.
