Before you start

  • 1x saucepan
  • 1x non-stick frying pan

Set the pasta simmering

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water for 8-9 mins, then drain.

Sauté the veg

  • Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut each into 6 wedges. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
  • Spritz a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 5-7 mins, then add the garlic and cook for 2 mins.

Mix the horseradish dressing

  • At the same time, finely chop the dill.
  • In a small bowl, stir the dill and horseradish into the yogurt.

Add the prawns

  • Tip the prawns and spinach into the frying pan. Crumble in the stock, pour in 150ml water (250ml for 4 portions) and
  • simmer for 5-6 mins, until the stock reduces slightly and the prawns are pink.

Finish & serve

  • Drain the beetroot and cut it into wedges. Halve the lemon and cut 1 half into wedges, then squeeze the juice (to taste) from the remaining half into the frying pan.
  • Stir three-quarters of the yogurt into the pan, then scatter the beetroot over the pasta and dollop on the remaining yogurt.
