Prawn and Pea Pasta

We are loving this prawn and pea pasta here at Daisies & Pie, it's a total standby dinner you can throw together using food from the freezer and cupboard, nothing fresh needed. 

The prawn and pea pasta is ready to eat in less than 20 minutes making it perfect for busy weeknight when you want your food ready FAST. 

Prawn And Pea Pasta Ingredients

• Splash of olive oil

• Tsp lazy garlic

• 500g carton passata

• tsp of ground fennel seeds or pinch of dried oregano (or both)

• 400g cooked prawns (I use frozen ones defrosted as per the packet instructions)

• 2 cups of frozen peas

• sea salt and black pepper

• 350-400g spaghetti (depending on appetite)

How To Make Prawn And Pea Pasta

Step One

• Set the spaghetti off cooking in a pan of large salted water with a splash of olive oil - it'll take around 10 minutes - stir every few minutes to stop the spaghetti sticking.

Step Two

• Add a splash of olive oil to a large frying pan or wok (one that'll hold the pasta later)

Step Three

• Sizzle the garlic for a minute then pour in the passata - add the fennel, oregano and season with salt and pepper.

Step Four

• Bring the sauce up to the boil then add the prawns and peas and cook for around 8-10 minutes or until the peas are cooked through and the prawns hot throughout.

Step Five

• When the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and toss the spaghetti into the sauce, lift and turn the spaghetti to coat it all with lovely sauce.

Step Six

• Divide between the plates.
