Spaghetti with creamy avocado and prawns

We are lucky to live very near a great Italian restaurant owned by a couple from Naples who make really fantastic pizzas and pastas, including one with avocado and prawns in a creamy sauce which sounds a weird combination but actually is delicious. I tried making it at home earlier this week only realising at the last minute that I didn't have any cream 🤤 (the original is very creamy). So I substituted with creme fraiche and yoghurt which added a nice tangy taste. It was a big success and got some big smiles so here is the recipe 😊😊

Steps
- 1
Fill a pan with water and put on to boil with a bayleaf, a generous pinch of salt and a little dash of olive oil. Wash the defrosted prawns (I didn't have time to slowly de-freeze, so I put the bag in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to speed up the process), put them on a plate and squeeze the lime juice over them. Gently fry the chopped onion (and chilli flakes if you are using them) in a little olive oil and some salt. When the onion is soft, add the prawns. Stir well and when the prawns start going opaque
- 2
Add the avocado cut into little chunks. Stir and leave for 5 mins over a moderate heat.
- 3
Grate the cheese and start cooking the pasta.
- 4
Take the pan of the heat and stir in the cheese until it melts
- 5
Mix half the pot of creme fraiche with a whole small pot of natural yoghurt (or just use a small carton of cream.
- 6
Add to the pan and stir in over a moderate heat. Add some black pepper and leave bubbling gently for 5 minutes or so to allow the sauce to thicken
- 7
Drain the pasta and put it back in the pan. Stir in the sauce
- 8
Serve and enjoy!!!
