Speedy Prawn & Lemon Spaghetti

This is a super quick midweek meal to make and suitable from 6 months plus, providing you cut the prawns and veggies age appropriately- e.g. you may want to halve the prawns and asparagus lengthways, and cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters to reduce the choking hazard.
