Gentle Fusilli with Prawns and Courgette
Prawns and soft courgette in garlic-infused oil through fusilli, finished with lemon and parsley. No onion, no garlic.
Ingredients
- 65 g Fusilli
- 190 g Shrimp
- 130 g Zucchini
- 1 tbsp Garlic-infused olive oil
- ½ Lemon
- 8 g Parsley (optional)
- ¼ tsp Black pepper (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Cut the courgette into thin half-moons, blot the prawns dry and chop the parsley.
- Warm the garlic-infused oil over a medium flame and cook the courgette six minutes, pressing it down now and then, until it softens and starts to break into a loose sauce.
- Raise the heat and add the prawns for ninety seconds a side, until they curl tight, then kill the heat and squeeze in the lemon.
- Cook the fusilli in the boiling water until it still has a firm centre, about ten minutes, then drain it, saving a ladleful of the water.
- Toss the pasta through the pan with a splash of the water until the courgette clings to it, then grind over the pepper and scatter the parsley.
