Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges

150g sugar snap peas
250g small courgettes, thinly sliced
3 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

Method: How to make prawns and steam-fried vegetable

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep frying pan (with a tight-fitting lid) over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1 minute, until beginning to soften. Add the pepper and 1 tablespoon water, cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the sugar snaps and courgettes and 1 tablespoon water. Re-cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender. Season well and cool.

2. Whisk the lemon juice and remaining oil together and season. Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Drain well, tip into a large bowl and stir in the dressing. Cool.

3. Mix the vegetables into the pasta, along with the tomatoes, prawns and herbs. Season to taste and serve.
