This is comfort food at its best. It's really nutritious, full of energy and bursting with flavour. The cooking time is really short, to keep everything crunchy and vibrant.
*If you want to make your own pesto, we use The Little Green Spoon recipe, which Indy has kindly allowed us share on the TPP Platform. But, if time doesn't allow, a good shop bought Pesto will do the trick. I recommend The Happy Pear.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
300g Pasta (I love to use wholewheat)
Drizzle Olive Oil
250g Raw Prawns (it's important they are the raw ones, you will know by their blue colour)
2 Garlic Cloves (minced/finely chopped)
200g Basil Pesto
150g Partially Cooked Broccoli (this is about half a head, cooked in boiling water for 2-3-minutes)
100g Frozen Peas (defrosted)
40g Grated Parmesan
Method:
1) Cook pasta in boiling water as per the instructions on the pack.
2) Drizzle olive oil into a pan on a relatively high heat.
3) Add the garlic and the prawns and cook for 10-minutes.
4) Add the broccoli, peas, pesto, pasta and parmesan.
5) Stir well to combine.
6) Return to the heat for no more than 5 minutes.
This is also really delicious served cold as a salad. I love making a large portion and having the leftovers cold the next day.

Mediterranean Tray Bake
This recipe is a lovely nod to the Mediterranean diet and offers a low-fuss mealtime option that you can pop on while doing a Pilates workout. I recommend serving it on a large tray placed at the centre of the table, encouraging everyone to help themselves. It also works well as a meal prep optio...

Beef & Lentil Cottage Pie
This is a really nice take on the traditional cottage pie recipe. Using less beef and adding lentils, makes it a lighter and more nutritious dish, without compromising on taste. We also combine potatoes and carrots for the topping for some extra goodness. This is a recipe the whole family will en...
