1. Cook the potatoes and swede in boiling water until tender (about 20 minutes).
2. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C.While the potatoes and swede cook, put the soft cheese and stock into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring with a wooden spoon, until blended and smooth. Now add the blended cornflour and cook until thick.
3. Stir the fish into the sauce with the prawns and parsley. Season with some pepper.
4. Tip the mixture into a 1.5 litre/2¾ pint baking dish. Drain the potatoes and swede, mash them well and season with black pepper. Spoon the mash over the fish to cover it completely. Bake for 25-30 minutes until piping hot, then transfer to a hot grill for a few minutes to brown the top. Serve with frozen peas or sweetcorn.

Making it budget

For an economical version, add frozen peas and sliced mushrooms to the sauce instead of the prawns.

  This is really excellent low fat & quick way to make a white sauce, will definitely use this method again. I added leeks to my pie and used cod & prawns. The swede with potato topping made a nice change.

  Excellent.Enjoyed by Granddaughters age 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. Used luxury fish selection plus prawns, peas and boiled eggs. No swede but used cheese in and on mash. Not so low fat but good!

  This is absolutely delicious. I was amazed and delighted how well this turned out; just the right amount of sauce and really great on the low cal front. I made two a big version and a baby version, leaving out the prawns and using full fat cheese for the baby and he ate the lot and so did we. Will be making this one again

  I've used this recipe a few times now, either using all fish or adding prawns. Everytime I make it,it succeeds in leaving clean plates and everyone wanting seconds!!
