Prawn and Harissa Spaghetti

Ingredients:

  • 100g long stem broccoli, cut into thirds
  • 180g dried spaghetti, regular or wholemeal
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, lightly bashed
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 150g cooked tiger prawns
  • 1 heaped tbsp rose harissa paste
  • 1 lemon finely zested

Method:

Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil.  Add the broccoli and boil for 90 seconds, or until tender.  Drain and set aside.  Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions, then drain, reserving a ladleful of cooking water.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic clove and fry over a low heat for 2 mins.  Remove with a slotted spoon and discard, leaving the flavoured oil.

Add the tomatoes to the pan and fry over a medium heat for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften and turn juicy.  Stir through the prawns.  Add the harissa and lemon zest, stirring to coat.

Toss the cooked spaghetti and pasta water through the prawns and harissa.  Stir through the broccoli, season to taste and serve
