Ingredients

  • 300g orecchiette
  • 150g M&S Frozen Broad Bean, Edamame Bean & Pea Mix
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 courgettes, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 20g parmesan, finely grated
  • ½ (175g) pack cooked peeled prawns
  • 1 small handful basil, leaves picked and shredded
  • 1 small handful mint, leaves picked and shredded

Method

  • Step 1

    Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to pack instructions, adding the bean mix for the final 5 mins.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in large pan. Add the courgettes and fry over medium-high heat for 5 mins until starting to soften and colour. Stir in the garlic and cook for a few mins more. Partially cover and cook for 5 mins until tender. Add the lemon juice; season to taste.

  • Step 3

    Drain the pasta and beans, reserving a little water. Tip back into the pan; stir through the courgettes. Toss in the parmesan with 1 tbsp pasta water; fold through the prawns and most of the herbs.

  • Step 4

    Serve topped with the reserved herbs and a crack of black pepper.
