Recipe
Ingredients - this is enough to serve four people
• 12 mussels - cleaned and de-bearded
• 12 clams
• 12 king prawns
• 12 scallops
• 2 cloves worth of chopped garlic
• 3 chopped shallots
• 12 halved cherry tomatoes
• Fresh chopped parsley
• 1 fresh chopped red chilli
• 1 bottle of white wine - some of this is for you to drink of course!
• 400g Linguine
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper
Method
• Set a large pan of water to boil for the linguine and add some salt, when the water is boiling it is time to add the linguine
• Whilst the pasta is cooking we can get on with preparing the sauce
• In a large sauce pan, add the oil, garlic, chilli and shallots, cook until soft, which usually takes about a minute
• Add all the seafood to the pan (discard any shells that have been broken), cover and simmer this mixture over a medium heat for about five minutes, then discard any shells that have not opened after this time
• Add a nice splash of white wine, most of the parsley and cherry tomatoes and cook for a further 3-4 minutes
• This is the perfect time to pour yourself a large glass of the left over wine and sit back and admire your work!
• When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the saucepan
• Stir together carefully and cook for a further minute adding some black pepper to taste, don’t add any salt at this point as the sauce should already be slightly salty from the fish
• Serve and sprinkle the rest of the parsley for garnish
Enjoy the finest Italian cuisine straight from your kitchen. Buon Appetito.
