Midweek Express #4

Pasta with Prawns and Lemon



I love this. I make different variations of this all the time. Some times with prawns sometimes with just bacon or good ham. This takes only 15 minutes to make so it's perfect for a midweek meal.

• 200 grams of spaghetti


• 1 small onion. diced


• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed


• Juice and zest of one lemon


• Handful of fresh chopped parsley


• olive oil


• chilli (optional)

1. Cook the pasta as instructed on the packet


2. Meanwhile in a pan, heat the olive oil


3. Saute the onions and garlic till translucent


4. Add the prawns and cook till just pink


5. Add the cooked pasta with a little of the cooking water


6. Toss around till mixed


7. Add the Lemon juice and zest


8. Sprinkle the parsley and give it a quick toss


9. Turn off the heat before the parsley cooks too much


10. Serve.
