2. Cook 280g linguine pasta according to the packet instructions. Add 200g trimmed sugar snap peas for the last minute or so of cooking time.

4. Tip in 24 peeled prawns and cook over a high heat, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until they turn pink.
5. Add 12 halved cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until they just start to soften.
6. Drain the linguine pasta and sugar snap peas well, then toss into the prawn mixture.
7. Tear in a handful of basil leaves, stir, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Serve with mixed salad leaves drizzled with the lime dressing, and warm crusty white bread.
