Preparation
1
Cook the Pasta

  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Make the Crumb

  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins.
  • Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and set aside. 

TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

3
Fry the Prawns

  • Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the prawns. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

4
Add the Flavour

  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Add the garlic and Cajun spice mix to the pan.
  • Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Stir in the creme fraiche, stock powder, tomato paste, ½ tsp sugar and 75ml water (double both for 4p).
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.

5
Finishing Touches

  • While the sauce simmers, quarter the lemon.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the peas, cheese and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
  • Cook until the butter has melted and the peas are piping hot, 1 min.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Remove from the heat and carefully stir the cooked pasta into the sauce.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if required.

6
Serve and Enjoy

  • Share the creamy prawn and pea rigatoni between bowls.
  • Sprinkle the crispy crumb over the top.
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges alongisde for squeezing over.
