Vegetable broth adds flavor without alcohol.

Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami.

1

Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water as per the packet instructions. Add the broccoli and peas to the pan for the final four minutes.

2

Meanwhile, to make the crunchy garlic topping, add a splash of olive oil to a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add a clove of crushed garlic into the oil, then add the breadcrumbs and fry for 3 minutes, stirring, until nicely golden. Stir in a third of the parsley, remove from the heat and set aside in a bowl.

3

In the same pan, fry the remaining garlic cloves for 30 seconds, then add in the prawns and fry until just pink – this should take a few minutes. Add 4 tbsp of the pasta cooking water and the Dijon mustard, stirring to coat the prawns.

4

Reduce the heat to low, add the crème fraîche and stir to form a smooth sauce. Add the remainder of chopped parsley and lemon juice.

5

Once the pasta is cooked, add to the pan with the prawns and toss until evenly coated and gorgeously glossy. Divide between four serving plates and top with the crunchy garlic breadcrumbs.
