Loved this! I added smoked garlic and mixed everything together before starting the pasta so the lime broke everything down a bit… delicious and fresh! Can’t wait to have it again.

question

How much coriander am I supposed to use? I'm not sure what 1/2 a pack is.

Hi, thanks for your question. Most supermarkets sell small packs of herbs weighing about 25g-30g, so half a pack would be about 15g in weight. It would be about a handful if that helps. It's down to your taste so you can add more or less as you like. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
