Lemon zest, chives and soft cheese form the base of the simple sauce used in this lemony prawn pasta recipe. Rich lashings of that citrussy sauce coat each al dente tube of penne; cooked and peeled prawns mean there's no faff in the preparation either. See method
Ingredients
- 400g penne
- 2 Redmere Farms courgettes, chopped
- 200g cooked and peeled prawns
- grated rind of 1 Suntrail Farms lemon
- ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 200g soft cheese
If you haven't got penne, try using fusilli or another short pasta
