So I made pesto as you could see in the previous recipe but I didn't quite know what to use it for so I made up this recipe (with inspiration from a Jamie Oliver recipe) which turned out really well.
Ingredients
serves 2
1 onion, diced
1 capsicum, diced
200 g prawns
1 tbsp white wine
2 tbsp chicken stock
3 tbsp pesto
2 medium sized zucchinis, julienned
1 handful mixed lettuce leaves (or just ruccola is fine as well)
salt and pepper to taste
pine nuts
butter to cook with
Start off by making the zucchini pasta. Follow everything except for the last step; sauteing them in olive oil.
Chop up your veggies while the zucchini is draining.
Heat up a pan on medium heat and add the butter. When hot, add in the onion and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the capsicum and saute for another 2 minutes. Add in the wine and the chicken stock and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Add the prawns and let them fry for 3 minutes, until they are almost cooked through. Then add the pesto and mix around so that everything is covered with pesto. Add the zucchini pasta, mix through carefully and heat up for a couple of minutes. Last, add the lettuce and mix through. Season with salt and pepper and serve with some toasted pine nuts.
