A refreshingly light spin on a creamy, prawn pasta dish

INGREDIENTS

40g spelt spaghetti pasta, uncooked
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely diced or minced
1 small red onion, finely sliced
165g prawns, uncooked and peeled
100g baby button mushrooms, finely sliced
80ml double cream
1 large handful fresh basil, whole leaves
1 small bunch fresh chives, finely sliced
2 small or 1 medium courgettes, spiralised

METHOD 

Prepare the spaghetti as per packet instructions. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, over a medium heat. Fry the garlic and onion, until softened.

Cook the prawns for 2mins, or until just coloured. Add the cream, mushrooms, salt and pepper, and cook for a further 2-3mins.

Turn off the heat and stir in the whole basil leaves and chives. Mix the creamy prawns into the spiralised courgette and pasta and serve warm.
