Home Alone!

Maria from The Goddess's Kitchen could not have been more timely posting her pasta dish, Linguine with Garlic, Prawns and Spinach.  No sooner did I comment to her that I would need to tuck the recipe away for a rainy day (Hubby doesn't like Prawns) than he ends up being out and I end up home alone and fending for myself. 

Owing to the fact that I am eating for one tonight I altered the recipe slightly, not much mind, but just enough that I didn't end up eating 3 other peoples portions as well as my own.  The original can be found over at Maria's wonderful blog, my version can be found below!

Linguine with Garlic, Prawns and Spinach
75g linguine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fry lite
1 garlic clove, crushed
150g spinach leaves
140g cooked prawns (the original recipe calls for uncooked peeled prawns but I could only find those frozen!)
1 1/2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
Grated zest 1/2 lemon

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.

Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat and fry the garlic for 1 minute until golden.  Add the spinach and cook for a further 2 minutes.  Add the prawns with the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir well and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the frying pan, then lower the heat.  Add the lemon zest and cherry tomatoes and stir everything together for 30 seconds.  Serve immediately.

Serves 1 (very happily!)
