I love all of the recipes here on my blog but this has got to be my most favourite one of all. I am super chuffed with the way this recipe came together. It tastes INSANE! My husband doesn’t even like prawns but he has asked me several times to make this again. (You know it’s a winner when the non clean eating husband asks for more!).
If you have never cooked with raw prawns before then this is a great recipe to start out with. You cannot beat the taste of the fresh prawns and they cook in just minutes. I used my Clean Eating Coriander Lime Pesto but you could try it with any pesto you like.
Clean Eating Coriander Lime Pesto Prawn Tagliatelle is amazing. It is so fresh and the chilli gives it an addictive heat. It’s posh nosh that can be put together in less than 15 minutes and to top it all off, it’s good for you!
Helpful Tip: If you didn’t want to serve this with tagliatelle you could stir it into some quinoa instead.

- Once the tagliatelle is cooked, drain it and place it back into the saucepan.
