Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a grater & a sieve

Boil the pasta

Add the penne to the saucepan and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain and drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil

Do the prep

Dice the courgette into 1cm chunks. Zest and halve the lemon. Finely slice the shallot. Finely chop or crush the garlic
Pick the tarragon from the stalks, reserve a few leaves for garnish, then finely chop the remaining

Build the dish

Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil. Once hot, add the courgette and shallot and cook for 2-3 mins, until starting to soften. Season with salt and pepper
Add the prawns and cook for another 4 mins, until pink and cooked through
Add the garlic, lemon zest and chopped tarragon and cook for another 1 min
Stir in the cashew cream and half the mustard. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 mins, until thickened

Make the dressing & finish the pasta

Meanwhile, in the medium bowl, combine the remaining mustard and half the lemon juice with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Stir the cooked pasta into the prawn pan and toss to coat. Simmer for 1 min, until hot. Finely grate in half the cheese and add a squeeze of lemon juice, then remove from the heat. Season to taste

Plate up

Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
Share the prawn pasta between bowls
Toss the rocket through the mustard dressing and serve alongside. Grate over the remaining cheese and garnish with the remaining tarragon to finish
