Pesto pasta with prawns

Fish, olive oil and basil are all fresh, tasty ingredients that literally feed your little one's brain power as well as their appetites.
All you need for this simple, popular dish is ten minutes and at least one little chef who will love literally throwing the ingredients into a pan.
My seven-year-old son is the fussiest eater going, but he begs me to cook this at least once a week as he adores tucking into the prawns.
It usually ends up with a fight at the dinner table when his two-year-old sister tries to steal them off his plate. So make sure you plenty to go around!

Packet of Linguine/Spaghetti
Small box of cherry tomatoes
Five tablespoons olive oil

1. Fill a large saucepan with slightly salted water and bring to the boil
2. Wash basil and place in a bowl with five tablespoons of olive oil an garlic clove. Using a hand blender, blend it into a liquid
3. Empty the pasta into the boiling water, then drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil into a frying pan and put on a low heat. Check on packet how long the pasta has to be cooked. Do not over cook - Italian pasta needs to be al dente
