Seafood Pasta

This is a very quick and easy recipe and uses a pack of frozen mixed seafood. You can use spaghetti, penne, or any other pasta you have in the cupboard but I prefer it with Linguine.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Onion
• 1 Garlic Clove
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 can Chopped Tomatoes (400g)
• 4 Chicken Stock Cubes
• 400g Linguine Pasta
• 400g Frozen Seafood Mix (defrosted)
• Fresh Parsley (optional)
• Lemon (optional)
• Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Preparation

• Roughly chop the onion
• Finely chop the garlic
• Make chicken stock using 1000ml of boiling water
• Break the linguine roughly
• Defrost the seafood mix

• Cut the lemon into wedges (if using)
• Grate the parmesan cheese (if using)

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan
2. Cook the onion for about 4 minutes over a mediumn heat until soft and transparent
3. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until you can smell it (don’t burn it)
4. Add the paprika, the can of tomatoes (including the juice), and the chicken stock then turn the heat up bring it to the boil
5. Turn the heat down to a simmer and stir in the broken pasta
6. Cook for about 7 minutes stirring occasionally to stop the pasta from sticking and clumping
7. Stir in the seafood mix and cook for about 3 minutes
8. Add salt and pepper to taste
9. Serve with chopped parsley leaves and parmesan sprinkled over (if using)
