Notes

This is delicious both hot or cold. If serving cold as a pasta salad, chill and only add the rocket when ready to serve.

Ingredients

  • 150g pasta (spirali or fusilli are lovely here)

  • 100g green beans

  • 3 tbsp. pesto

  • 150g creme fraiche

  • 100g cooked king prawns

  • 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

  • 25g toasted pine nuts

  • handful rocket

Method

  1. Cooked the pasta in salted water, according to pack instructions. Add the green beans for the last two minutes. Keep a cup of the pasta water before draining.

  2. Return the pasta and beans to the fry pan, and add the pesto, creme fraiche, prawns, lemon zest and juice and season well.

  3. If the sauce is a little thick, add a splash of the pasta water you kept.

  4. Stir through the rocket, check for seasoning and serve.
