Fish Free King Prawn Recipe
Fish Free King Prawn Pesto Linguine with Cherry Tomatoes
Serves: 4
Prep: 10 mins Cook: 20 mins
Overview
This is a wonderfully quick meal – and a great way to use any fresh basil from your herb garden! Bursting with flavour from the balsamic cherry tomato-combo, these flavours combine beautifully with the pesto, fish free prawns and linguine – a light, simple pasta dish that works for family or casual entertaining.
Method
Pesto: In a food processor, blitz together the basil, parmesan, pinenuts, salt, pepper, lemon juice & garlic. Drizzle in the olive oil with the motor running until blended.
Place the tomatoes and Fish Free King Prawns on a foiled baking tray, whisk together the balsamic, salt, pepper and olive oil drizzle over the tomatoes, and bake in a hot oven (200°C) for 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pan of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until tender, 8-10 minutes.
Drain well and return to the pot, add the pesto, beans and tomatoes and stir through. Serve.
