With all the classic flavours of comforting fish pie, this simple recipe makes it even easier to rustle up this delicious dinner. Soft cheese and stock combine to make a satisfyingly creamy sauce in which fresh fish is lightly cooked, and fluffy mashed potatoes provide the perfect topping.

Ingredients

  • 1kg white potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 x 250g tub Garlic & Herbs Extra-Light Soft Cheese
  • 1 x 320g pack fish pie mix
  • 190g coldwater prawns
  • handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • milk (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100ml (3 1/2fl oz) fish or vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp cornflour

Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5, 190ºC, fan 170ºC. Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Drain and mash, adding a little milk if you wish. Season with salt and pepper.
    2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently cook the onion for 5-10 minutes, until softened. Add the soft cheese and the stock and combine well.
    3. Blend the cornflour with 2 teaspoons of cold water and stir into the sauce. Cook for a few more minutes until thickened. Add the fish pie mix and cook for 2 minutes before stirring in the prawns and parsley.
    4. Pour into an oven dish and top with the mash. Cook for 25-30 minutes until piping hot.
