A very quick, lemony, garlicky, chilli, prawn spaghetti that is made with black bean pasta.
Recipe type: Fish
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp good quality olive oil
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • 2 red chillies, chopped (de-seeded for a less spicy option)
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • 3 large handfuls rocket
  • 1 packet black bean pasta
  • salt, for seasoning
  • pepper, for seasoning
  • 20 King prawns (you can use frozen prawns but de-frost them first)
Instructions
  1. Cook the black bean pasta as per packet instructions.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the garlic and fry, on a low heat, until garlic is soft and aromatic but not browned.
  3. Add in the lemon zest, chillies and king prawns and cook until the king prawns have a lovely orange colour and are cooked through (about 7 minutes).
  4. By this stage your pasta should be cooked. Drain the pasta and then add the pasta and the rocket to the pan and toss until all of the pasta is coated with the olive oil mixture.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Serve and add an extra few leaves or raw rocket and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese (for a dairy option).
