Seafood Pasta

This is a great dish to make if you are pushed for time. It only takes ten to fifteen minutes to make yet tastes delicious.

Fry off a chopped onion, mushrooms, bell pepper and chilli until softening then add a packet of mixed seafood. Most supermarkets sell these mixed packs cheaply. This was a Tesco mix with mussels, squid and prawns. Once the seafood is cooked through add a tub of soft cheese, I used a lightest garlic and herb version. Mix the cheese into the fish and vegetables well.

In a seperate large pan boil some water and add your pasta. I used fresh pasta to further reduce the cooking time but dried works just as well it just takes slightly longer to cook.

Add a cup of pasta water to the fish mix then drain your pasta and add to the cheesy fish sauce. Mix well ensuring that all of the pasta is well coated and the fish evenly distributed throughout. Then serve. We just had a large helping each of the pasta but you can equally serve this to more people with smaller portion sizes and some garlic bread and salad.

  1. It looks so creamy! And it’s so rich with fresh seafood, so I bet it tasted wonderful. Whomever you served this delicious plate of pasta must've been very delighted. And to think it only took you less than 15 minutes to prepare it. That’s just amazing!
