💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 8-10 minutes or according to the packet instructions. Season the water with a good amount of salt and reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the water out.

2

Season the salmon and prawns with salt and black pepper to taste.

3

Heat the large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, add salmon and prawns. Let it sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from pan and set them aside.

4

In the remaining pan, add onion and saute until soft and translucent with low-medium heat. Next, add the chopped garlic and chilli flakes and stir it well for a few seconds until fragrant.

5

Pour the reserved ½ cup pasta water, double cream, and grated parmesan in. Season with salt and pepper. Bring it to simmer and allow it to thicken, then place the cooked pasta, salmon, and prawns in. (Add more pasta water if needed.)

6

Finish with lemon zest and chopped parsley. Combine everything well and transfer to serving plate. Garnish with grated parmesan and finely chopped parsley.
