AIP Prawn Pasta Primavera

This AIP Pasta Primavera is light, clean, and deeply nourishing. Cassava noodles are tossed in a simple sauce made from fresh lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, then combined with carrots, broccoli, asparagus, red onion, and pre-cooked prawns for an easy weekday meal.

Completely dairy free, grain free and gluten free, and suitable for Stage One Elimination on AIP, this dish comes together quickly while still feeling fresh and satisfying.

I use pre-cooked frozen prawns and thaw in water. By the time the vegetables are cooked, the prawns are defrosted.

It is proof that healing food can be simple, flavorful, and realistic for real life.

01 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.

02 Fill a bowl with cold water and defrost the prawns.

03 Chop the broccoli, carrot, asparagus, and red onion into a medium dice in a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl. Add 1 tsp of the olive oil and season with salt. Add to the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.

04 Bring a pot of water to a boil for the cassava pasta. Cook for 11 minutes or according to the instructions. Place the cooked pasta in a big bowl and then drain.

05 In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and lemon juice.

06 Once the roasted veggies are ready, add them to the pasta along with the prawns, olives, and the olive oil and lemon juice.

07 Add salt to taste and enjoy!
