This pasta dish with lemon, garlic and prawns – a lunch that is both creamy and light

The Pasta

Cook pasta and drain. Set aside and keep warm.

Add spinach, onions and season with nutmeg, bring to a boil and reduce sauce until smooth and creamy. Put the sauce and the parsley in the blender and mix for about one minute. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly milled pepper.

The Prawns

The Final Touch

For serving, mix pasta and sauce in a bowl, place on a dish and add the cooked king prawn.

Tips from Chefs to Chefs

Whipping Cream makes any sauce nice and smooth – and can be added liquid or whipped. It also lightens the colour slightly, however. Whipping cream mellows the taste, so add salt to taste.
