To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have prawny pesto pasta using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Prawny pesto pasta:
- Get 1 pack prawns
- Make ready half a head of broccoli
- Make ready 2 shallots or 1 small onion
- Get 2 dessert spoons of coriander pesto
- Get 2 dessert spoons of chilli pesto
- Take 1 cup pasta

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil - it should run without sizzling. Pour the pesto dressing over the pasta and prawns and give everything a good stir. Add the parsley and basil leaves and stir again, then pile into your serving dish and serve scattered with extra shredded basil leaves, plus lemon wedges for squeezing over the salad.
Instructions to make Prawny pesto pasta:
- Cut the shallots and broccoli into strips about 5mm thick and place in a nice big pan
- Add about 15mm of water and bring to the boil. Simmer until tender.
- While the veg is cooking cook your pasta. I used a cupful of penne pasta this time but you can use a bit more if you are hungry.
- When the veg is nearly cooked add a splosh of extra virgin olive oil and turn up the heat. Keep stirring while you boil the water off. Don't discard the water. If you throw away the cooking water you are throwing away flavour. Boil the water off and you keep all that flavour in the dish. Be sure to keep stirring and watch carefully to make sure it doesn't catch.
- When the water has all gone and it starts to sizzle throw in the pesto and prawns and keep stirring.
- Drain and add your pasta and stir it all together.
- Spoon onto the plate and serve with sprig of fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan. I had a few cherry tomatoes in the fridge and added them as a garnish.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Cook pasta in boiling, salted water as per packet instructions. Add extra oil, prawns, pesto and lemon juice to pasta with enough of the cooking water to thin it out a little.
