Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need

  • Chickpea pasta spirals (fusilli)
  • Baby garlic (green garlic)
  • Peeled king prawns
  • Pink Himalayan salt
  • Black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Cook the chickpea pasta in plenty of boiling water according to the package instructions.
  2. 2Once cooked, transfer the pasta to a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
  3. 3Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to a skillet and sauté the baby garlic until lightly golden.
  4. 4When the garlic starts to brown, add the king prawns and cook just until seared.
  5. 5Add the legume pasta, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss everything together for a few minutes.

Extra notes

  1. 1It's really important to stop the cooking process with cold water so the legume pasta doesn't turn mushy.
