Method

  • step 1

    Cook the pasta. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the garlic for 2 mins. Tip in the wine and bubble over a high heat for 1 min, then lower the heat and stir in the crème fraîche and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and plenty of black pepper. Simmer for 1 min to reduce a little, then add the prawns and simmer in the sauce until just pink.

  • step 2

    Drain the pasta and tip into the sauce with half the chives. Use tongs to mix everything together. Divide between 2 shallow bowls and sprinkle with the remaining chives.

RECIPE TIPS
SPECIAL FISH MORNAY

Put 2 thick fillets sustainably caught

haddock into a small baking dish. Make

the sauce as before, using just a splash of

wine, with 4 tbsp crème fraîche. Don’t

worry about cooking the prawns through.

Scatter with the chives and a good

handful grated cheddar, then grill for

15-20 mins until bubbling and fish is

cooked through. Serve with crusty bread.

Great recipe to share with the teenagers to cook for themselves at Uni. Agree it is better to serve with a slice of lemon rather than adding the juice as it was too over powering.

I added 6 halved Piccolo baby tomatoes and just a few thin slices of red chilli to this recipe and as I had no chives added finely sliced shallot to the sauce as it cooked, prior to adding the prawns and it was lovely, needed salt adding to the dish at the table though . Once plated up I grated…

I added some salmon, coriander, a chopped green chilli and a few spring onions to this recipe. The end result was absolutely amazing and it took no more than 25 mins to make. Great for a mid-week tasty dinner dish.
