How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Mix the dressing ingredients in a little bowl.
Season with salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Heat the pasta according to the packet instructions.
Add your sugar snap peas for the last min or so of cooking time.
While that cooks, heat the oil in a wok or big frying pan.
Toss in the garlic and chilli.
Cook over a fairly gentle heat for around 30 seconds without letting the garlic brown.
Tip in the prawns.
Cook over a high heat, for around 3 minutes until they turn pink.
Stir often.
Add the tomatoes.
Cook, for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir every so often.
Drain the pasta and sugar snaps well.
Toss into the prawn mixture.
Tear in the basil leaves.
Stir.
Season with salt and pepper.
Dish up using salad leaves drizzled using the lime dressing, and warm crusty bread.
