Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
• 10 cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1 large handful of roughly chopped parsley
• 300g chopped raw prawn meat
• Splash of white wine
• 1 knob of butter
• 300g fresh lasagne sheets, roughly torn
• Salt, to taste
• Parmesan cheese, grated
• Lemon zest
• Chilli flakes, to taste
• Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely sliced garlic and fry until golden.
2. Add chopped cherry tomatoes, frozen peas, and roughly chopped parsley to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
3. Add the chopped raw prawn meat to the pan and fry until the prawns develop color, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour a splash of white wine into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add a knob of butter to the pan and swirl it as it melts, creating a flavorful sauce.
6. In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Dunk the roughly torn fresh lasagne sheets into the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then scoop them out and add them to the pan with the prawns.
7. Toss the ingredients well to coat the lasagne sheets in the flavorful sauce.
8. Cover the dish with grated Parmesan cheese (I KNOW, W PRAWNS FFS!) and sprinkle with lemon zest and chilli flakes.
9. Mop the sop with crusty bread.

Notes

This feels fancy pants, but it really just need a few freezer essentials and some handfuls of stuff. 

Frozen prawns! These are fab to have on hand for curries, pasta, dumplings, stirfries, noodle dishes. Try and find aussie prawns fished from our water. 

Frozen Las sheets! Having a few packs about takes a pasta dish from “PJs” to “I’m sorry, if there a dress code?!”. Hand cut or torn rag pasta is more beautifully known as maltagliati (badly cut) or Cencioni (little rag) in italian… although, drawing any attention to this prawn pasta WITH cheese to your neighbourhood italian friend will result in a scolding that is your own doing. 

Frozen peas, you should have these… if not, email me stat, we need to talk. 

Frozen wine, you know theres sometimes a scroungey bottle of white or red about that no one wants to finish? Freeze it in an ice cube tray, bag it up, and then don’t waste your favourite stuff when deglazing is demanded.
