Seafood Pasta Recipe


A great seafood pasta recipe will transport you and your guests straight back to the Mediterranean. The smell is just fantastic: garlic and wine, mixing with basil and onion and the fresh prawns (shrimp), clams and tomatoes.

This is a really authentic recipe we have tried to make it as simple and easy to prepare as possible. It is a bit of work to make your own
fresh homemade pasta but do give it a go, there's something magical and totally different about it, although the dried stuff is a great stand-by if you're in a hurry and you can get really good results if you follow the instructions on the packet.


Mediterranean Seafood Pasta

It's not normal to include Parmesan or any other kind of cheese with fishy pasta sauces but if you prefer it with cheese - go for it.
Our idea is to combine the Mediterranean flavours that you like and not to be too bound by convention.

The recipes we write are usually easy to follow, but if you are having any problems at all, just ask Pam she loves to help.
That's why she's put together a range of kitchen basics - US and UK to help you put together a good basic set of cooks tools.
She's also teamed up with Amazon to bring you an affordable range of electrical appliances - US and UK to give you all the tools you'll need to become a well rounded cook. They make great gifts too!

Seafood DelightMethod

  1. OK - cook the onion slowly in half the olive oil.
  2. Add the garlic and carry on cooking - the onions and garlic should be soft but not browned.
  3. Now add the wine and reduce by two thirds.
  4. Add the tomatoes and cook for two minutes.
  5. Throw in the Prawns and stir until they begin to change color.
  6. Now the clams - vognole - almejas - and stir until opening up.
  7. Meanwhile cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water for about 2 minutes - or follow the instructions on your dried pasta packet.
  8. Depending on how much liquid you have left, either: toss the pasta with the sauce and serve into warm bowls or thicken the sauce with the corn flour first.
