165g raw king prawns
2 tbsp Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Garlic

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan)
  2. Cook the Pasta until ‘al dente’ in texture)
  3. Place the cod on a microwaveable plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, flake into large pieces. Set aside.
  4. Heat 2 tbsps of the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the prawns for 2 minutes, along with a little seasoning. Set aside and keep the juices from cooking.
  5. Pour the cooking juices from the prawns into a saucepan with 3 tbsps of Garlic Oil. Heat gently on a medium heat. Add the plain flour and stir until a paste forms, then cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and whisk until the sauce is thickened. Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Season to taste.
  6. Roughly tear the bread and blitz in a food processor. Add the dill, a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper and blitz again until you have rough breadcrumbs.
  7. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and add the cooked fish, flaked salmon and prawns. Mix until everything is combined.
  8. Spread evenly into a large dish, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned and crisp. Enjoy!
