    I used spinach as we prefer this to rocket and it was very good

    Not bad but wouldn't bother cooking again as there are many better recipes out there.

    I didn't much fancy boiling the prawns - I felt you'd be throwing a lot of the prawn flavour away with the pasta water. Also, I felt it would need the added depth of a little sauted onion, so I added the prawns to the onion once it was transparent but not coloured. I then added the creme fraiche and seasoned with lots of black pepper, then added that to the pasta. I mixed the Rocket through at the last minute. I thought it was lovely, my son thought it was lovely, but my husband - well, it made him heave! So, not 100% successful there!

    Totally agree about using spinach instead of rocket. It just seems to suit it more!

    A bit of garlic and black pepper finished this dish off perfectly for me.

    I've just cooked this, using plenty of parmesan and a generous grinding of black pepper. We enjoyed it, and as it was quick, easy and contains my partner's favourite ingredient (prawns), I think this will become a regular.

    Made just one serving for myself. Didn't have rocket, so used flat-leaf parsley. The rest of the familly ate spaghetti with tomato sauce. but this recepy is so quick and easy it was no problem to cook an extra dish. Really liked it, will make again.

    Am waiting for galbladder op, and so on very low fat diet. Scaled down the recipe to make a single portion just for me. I didn't have any rocket, so added some frozen peas right at the end. Also I left off the parmesan (sob), and squeezed some lemon juice over it. It was delicious. And fabulously quick!
