Preparation
1
Get Started

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the macaroni.

Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Grate the cheese. Cut the lemon into wedges. Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

In a large bowl, mix in half the lemon juice, the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato to macerate and set aside.

2
Cook the Pasta

When the water is boiling, stir the macaroni into the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

3
Fry the Prawns

Meanwhile, drain the prawns. Melt the butter (see pantry for amount) in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

Once melted, add the prawns and stir-fry for 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

4
Make your Sauce

Add the grated garlic and the Central American style spice mix to the prawns. Stir-fry for 1 min.

Next, stir in the flour (see pantry for amount). Cook, stirring, until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

Gradually stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and the veg stock paste. Bring to the boil, stir and simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins.

Once thickened, stir in the creme fraiche.
5
Finishing Touches

Add the grated cheese and crab meat to the sauce and stir until melted, 1-2 mins.

Mix in the cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Stir in a good squeeze of lemon juice and half the chives.

Add the baby leaves to the tomato and toss together until evenly coated. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

6
Serve

Share your crab and prawn mac and cheese between your bowls.

Sprinkle over the remaining chives.

Serve with the salad and any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
