Indulge in a refreshing summer seafood pasta paired perfectly with a glass of chilled wine.
Ingredients:
  • 400g penne rigate
  • 125ml olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, skin on
  • 100g rocket leaves, plus extra to serve
  • Zest and juice of 2 large lemons
  • 100g parmesan
  • 500g cooked prawns, peeled
  • Extra lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Prepare the penne as directed on the package. Once cooked, drain the pasta, lightly coat it with olive oil, and chill in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Wrap garlic in foil, drizzle with oil, and roast for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Squeeze cloves out of skins into the food processor. Add rocket, 1/2 cup oil, and lemon juice. Process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a bowl, stir in parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pasta with 4 tablespoons of pesto and zest. Toss together and divide onto plates. Top with prawns and extra rocket, serve with lemon wedges. Optionally, garnish with a mixture of the remaining pesto and mayonnaise for added flavor. Any leftover pesto can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
