Prawn and courgette linguine with broad bean salad
This simple summery courgette and prawn pasta dish by Gennaro is a quick dinner for when you don't want to slave away in a hot kitchen. The courgettes cook down into a creamy sauce that's flavoured with garlic and anchovy. Get ahead by making the salad early.
