Speedy Seafood Linguine
A indulgent dinner with little to no fuss. We have used a mixture of fresh and frozen seafood in the recipe to allow for some variety, but if you aren't sure when you want to cook this meal, simply opt just from frozen seafood and cook at your leisure. đź‘‹Please remember to take your seafood out of the freezer 3-4 hours before you intend on cooking your linguine, or even better, defrost it the night before.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
đź‘‹Remember to defrost your seafood in the fridge, overnight and to prepare all you ingredients before starting any cooking.
Step 2
Fill a large saucepan with boiling water. Place onto the stove, on a high heat with a generous pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the linguine and cook for 11 minutes.
Step 3
Place another wide based pan onto a medium-high heat and add 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add the halved baby plum tomatoes, chopped red chilli and chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine at this point, turn the heat to high and reduce by half. If you are not using white wine, add a ladle of the pasta water to help create a sauce.
Step 4
Add the defrosted seafood to the pan with the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until the prawns turn pink followed by the cooked mussels and chopped parsley. By now the linguine should be cooked. Drain it well and stir it through the seafood sauce along with a splash of the pasta water, the butter and the remaining extra virgin olive oil. Divide the pasta between four bowls and serve while piping hot.
