Dim the lights down low and light the candles because there’s nothing more romantic than a creamy spaghetti dinner. The best flavours come from the simplest combinations like prawns and mushrooms, creating a hearty sauce for golden spaghetti to get tangled up in. So come in close and enjoy a taste of romance with little effort.
1 packet
Button Mushrooms
200 g
Peeled Prawns

1 packet
Spaghetti
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat; May be present: Soy)
1
Celery
1 packet
Cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
2
Garlic
1 sachet
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
1 piece
egg
(Contains: Eggs; )
1 drizzle
olive oil
2 tsp
white wine vinegar

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. • Finely chop garlic and celery. Thinly slice button mushrooms.

• Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, cream (see ingredients), grated Parmesan cheese and chicken-style stock powder (see ingredients). • Season, whisk with a fork and set aside. TIP: Pour the egg whites into a freezer bag or ice cube tray and save them for another recipe, like making meringues! Little cooks: Help with whisking the egg.

• Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, over high heat, until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. TIP: 'al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook peeled prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • Add celery and mushrooms and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the white wine vinegar and cook until evaporated, 1-2 minutes.

• Remove frying pan from heat. Add cooked spaghetti, creamy sauce mixture and a splash of the reserved pasta water to the prawn and mushrooms. Stir well to coat. Season to taste and set aside. TIP: If your frying pan isn't big enough, toss everything together in the saucepan! TIP: Add a splash more reserved pasta water if your sauce is looking too thick.

• Divide prawns and mushroom spaghetti with Parmesan cheese between plates. Enjoy!
