Cajun Prawn Rigatoni
King prawns and rigatoni in a smoky Cajun cream sauce, built on paprika, cumin and a gentle hit of cayenne. Sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes add a little freshness, garlic spinach folds through for depth, and a touch of lemon lifts it all at the end.

Tell me when Cajun Prawn Rigatoni changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
