Quinoa pasta is gluten free and contains more protein than regular wheat pasta. You can source quinoa pastas from health food shops or the health food section of most supermarkets.
50 grams of Quinoa Linguine
2 portions of Kale Pesto
Olive Oil Spray
Cook your pasta until al dente, using a colander drain and rinse in cool running water and set aside. Sear the prawns in a pan using olive oil for 2 -3 minutes on each side, and remove from the pan. In a deep saucepan heat a little olive oil and saute the rocket briefly, add the linguine, and mix in the pesto. Add the prawns and heat through. Add a splash more olive oil if desired. Season with ground sea salt, and a little extra freshly grated manchego if desired.

We get quinoa linguine, spaghetti and penne from our local health food store. But, they are amazing -as they have so much terrific stock. Maybe try a health food retailer online?

You can always make it with a bunch of english spinach instead? And still really good for you.

Tried this and cant say how awesome it was ….. I used a home grown heirloom russian red kale that wasn’t as green, but delightfully full flavoured.
