Ingredients:

280g linguine
200g sugar snap peas (trimmed)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 large red chilli (deseeded and finely chopped)
24 raw king prawns (peeled)
12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
Fresh basil leaves (a handful)
Mixed salad leaves and crusty bread (for serving)

Lime Dressing:

2 tbsp virtually fat-free fromage frais
Zest and juice of 2 limes
2 tsp golden caster sugar

Instructions:

Prepare the dressing by combining fromage frais, lime zest, lime juice, and sugar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Cook the linguine as per the package instructions, adding sugar snap peas in the last minute of cooking.
In a large pan or wok, heat olive oil. Sauté garlic and chilli for about 30 seconds, ensuring the garlic doesn’t brown.
Add the prawns and cook on high heat for approximately 3 minutes until they turn pink.
Incorporate the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Drain the linguine and sugar snap peas, then mix them into the prawn preparation.
Add torn basil leaves, season with salt and pepper, and give it a final stir.
Serve with salad leaves drizzled with the lime dressing and accompanied by warm crusty bread.
