Have you tried this Garlic Prawn Pasta recipe? It is so healthy and absolutely delish! If you’re going on a meat-free diet for a while, it’s a great meal to add to your meal plan. If you are just tired of eating pasta the regular way, this is a great recipe to try out. It usually doesn’t come with a sauce, but as thorough Nigerian, I couldn’t help myself, I added a little colour and lots of pepper to it.
