Description

Fast Prep, Big Flavours

A classic seafood pasta made with a pre-made seafood marinara mix. This is really simple to make, and the key to this recipe is the step where the pasta is finished cooking in the sauce. This is called emulsifying, and its an essential Italian cooking technique where the starch in the pasta cooking water reacts with the oil in the sauce and makes the sauce thick and luscious so it coats every strand of pasta.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz / 180g dried spaghetti pasta (or other long pasta of choice)
  • 2½ tbsp olive oil, separated
  • 10oz / 300g seafood Marinara mix, or make your own (Note 1)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ onion, finely chopped (~1/2 cup)
  • ½ cup white wine (any) (Note 2)
  • 2 cups tomato passata/tomato puree (Note 3) OR 600g/20oz canned crushed tomato + ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to packet directions, but reduce the cooking time by 1 minute (because the pasta will finish cooking in the sauce). RESERVE 1 mug of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Separate the seafood mix based on cook time. Longest cook time: fish and medium / large prawns, medium cook time: small prawns, shortest cook time: calamari.
  • Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add fish and large prawns first, cook for 30 seconds. Add small prawns, cook for 30 seconds. Add calamari, cook for 1 minute. Immediately transfer everything to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium high. Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil, then add garlic and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
  • Add wine and bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Simmer for 1 minute or until alcohol smell has evaporated.
  • Add tomato passata, sugar, salt & pepper. Low heat to medium high, bring to simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add pasta, seafood, around ½ cup of reserved pasta cooking water into the sauce. Toss gently and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and coats the pasta.
  • Serve, garnished with fresh parsley. (See Note 4 re: parmesan cheese)
