Cooking Steps

1
  • Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt.
  • Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook, over a high heat, until ‘al dente', 9 minutes.
  • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people).
  • Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.
2
  • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice green beans.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add green beans and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. 
  • Add peeled prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. 
3
  • Reduce heat to medium and add cream, the salt and reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, then add cooked spaghetti and basil pesto and toss to coat. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash more water to your sauce if it's looking dry!

TIP: Toss the pasta and sauce in the saucepan if your frying pan isn't big enough.

  • Divide yummy green bean and prawn pesto spaghetti between bowls.

ELEVATE ME: If you've added extra ingredients to your recipe, slice lemon into wedges. Sprinkle over chilli flakes. Tear over parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
