Garlic Shrimp Noodles - approx. £7. This recipe makes two servings — invite a friend over or save it for dinner the next day!
Ingredients:
150g rice noodles (I use straight-to-wok noodles, because they happened to be on sale when I first made this recipe)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 leek
150g fine green beans
half an onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
150g peeled raw king prawns
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
Method
Dinner in under 20 minutes
Cherry tomato-black olive spaghetti — approx. £5. Again, this recipe serves two, so make your plans accordingly!
200g spaghetti
200g cherry tomato, halved
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
small bunch basil, leaves torn and stems removed
10 big black olives, roughly chopped
1 tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
zest and juice of half a lemon
shaved parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), to serve
Note: If you’re not a fan of lemon, skip it! I sometimes skip the zest, depending on what season it is.
I don’t like my pasta too lemony!
