Free Healthy Recipe - Prawn and zucchini spagettini

Dairy free, Low sugar

This recipe, courtesy of my friends from Cobram Estate, might not exactly be health food but it's one of these meals we all love to enjoy as a special treat. It's the perfect meal to serve on the weekend when friends come over to lunch, when there's time in the day to burn off all those delicious comfort carbs!. Buy spelt/wholemeal pasta if you want to health it up a bit and always serve it with an accompanying salad.

Ingredients

240 gram pasta, spelt preferably

150 ml extra virgin olive oil (see olive oil), Cobram Estate First Harvest

5 cloves garlic

2 red chillies finely chopped

2 zucchini coarsely grated

500 grams prawns, roughly chopped

1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped

1 pinch sea salt

1 pinch cracked black pepper

Method

In a large pot of boiling water, add salt and spaghettini and cook until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, place a large heavy based pan over a medium heat.
Saute chilli and garlic with the extra virgin olive oil for around 5 minutes or until aromatic.
Add the zucchini to the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes. Add a cup of the water used to boil the pasta, the prawns and parsley and cook for 3 - 4 minutes.
Strain the pasta and retain 1/2 cups of the pasta water. Add the pasta and water to the pan and stir vigorously to combine the ingredients and emulsify the sauce.

Serve immediately with an accompanying fresh salad.
