Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the pasta and a good pinch of salt. Cook according to the packet instructions, then drain and return to the pan.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes, until golden and crisp, then remove and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic, return the bacon to the pan and add the broccoli florets and stock. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid or baking tray and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir the cream and prawns into the sauce and heat through for 2-3 minutes, until just simmering – don’t overheat. Season, then stir into the pasta and gently mix it all together. Divide between bowls to serve.

Quick wins & tips

You could use other fish, such as salmon or undyed haddock. If so, add it at the same time as the stock and broccoli so it cooks through.
