Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 5 mins to soften. Add the cornflour and fish stock, bring to a simmer and turn the heat to medium high. Stir in the soft cheese and frozen fish pie mix, along with the sweetcorn. Cover and bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins. Stir in the king prawns, peas and spinach and season well with pepper.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
  3. Pour the mixture into an ovenproof pie dish 20 x 30cm and top with cubes of frozen mashed potatoes; sprinkle over the cheese. Pop in the oven and bake for 25-30 mins or until golden brown and bubbling.
  4. Remove and allow to stand for 5 mins before serving with a peppery rocket salad, if you like.
