chilli prawn linguine recipe with lemon balm

At the time of writing, many of us all over the world have been reaching to the back of our cupboards to use what we have.

And here's my own recipe from today's lunch and it's prawn chilli linguine. You'll notice some of the vegetable ingredients may appear to be a bit unusual.

But I want you to know that you can replace these with what you have instead. As long as you can panfry them too, you're good to go.

Use Ingredients You Have

First, you'll need some prawns to be a prawn linguine. Fortunately, I'd bought these a few weeks ago and frozen them for a later date. If you don't have them, then you might like my tuna, sweetcorn pasta.

Other ingredients you could use:

dried spaghetti
rice - it doesn't need to be linguine!
sweetcorn
peas
broccoli florets
cauliflower
mushrooms

Use whatever you have to bulk your meals out with healthy food to help stay full for longer.

Can I Freeze Chilli Prawn Linguine?

Yes, you can freeze this prawn linguine. However, I recommend eating it freshly cooked as the linguine will soak up any juice, making it quite dry.

If you want to freeze it, it would be more beneficial to fully defrost and stir in more lemon and cheese.

And always try to add fresh herbs where you can after cooking. Heat can destroy fresh herbs, losing its flavour.

Is This Chilli Prawn Linguine Healthy?

Yes, this chilli prawn linguine is extremely healthy! In fact, the only fats used in this recipe is a touch of cooking oil and a tablespoon of cream cheese. And that's if you want it.

To ensure you eat fewer calories (if that is your aim), then try to use:

fresh vegetables not soaked in oil or sugar
dried linguine or spaghetti
low-calorie cooking oil spray
low fat cheese if using

If you fancy a more luxurious linguine, then I highly recommend this creamy cheesy leek and bacon recipe. Note, it has a lot more calories but does use reduced-fat cream.
