    How to Make a Creamy Prawn Pasta with Herbs From the Garden?

    Gather all the ingredients together. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Cut the courgette into thin semi-circles. Then chop chives and parsley. If using dried thyme, chop the thyme as well. Zest and juice a lemon.

    Cook the pasta following package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 80ml of pasta water for later.

    Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the prawns. If using fresh uncooked prawns, cook them for approx. 3 minutes until pink on both sides. If using cooked prawns, just cook them enough to warm through. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

    To the same frying pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Then toss in the courgette and onion. Season with a pinch of salt and cook for approx. 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, thyme, chilli flakes and butter and stir for 1 minute. Then pour in the wine, add the lemon zest, and juice and bring to a very gentle simmer.

    Add the prawns and cooked drained pasta, tossing to combine. Add the pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in chopped parsley and chives.

    Divide the pasta between plates and enjoy!
