Seafood Spaghetti
Seafood Spaghetti
Created by urbanfoodie, Sunday, 13 September 2009

This is a really rather splendid supper dish to add to the list. It's quick to make too.

Serves
2
  • 200g seafood mix (or equivalent seafood)
  • 1 tin chopped toms
  • 1 onion
  • 2 fat cloves garlic
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 capfuls Vermouth
  • 1 bunch parsley (generous handful when chopped)
  • 1 lemon
  • 250g Spaghetti
  • Olive oil, S&P
Method/steps
  1. Chop onions and fry gently in olive oil
  2. Whilst they are frying, chop green pepper finely and add to pan, then start chopping garlic
  3. After 5 mins (onions should be soft, not browned) add Vermouth and cook off alcohol (2 mins)
  4. Add toms and garlic, cover and simmer gently
  5. Put pasta on and start picking and chopping the parsley
  6. When pasta is done, add seafood and squeezed lemon juice to pan, drain the pasta and add to sauce along with chopped parsley. Lovely with a drop of dry rose and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce
Additional tips

It's quick to make and doesn't rely on hard to find fresh seafood, the supermarket seafood mix (prawns, mussels, squid) is quite good enough - although if you are lucky enough to have some then use that by all means. I am convinced that a little bit of alcohol really brings out the best in tomatoes, here I've found another use for that bottle of Vermouth lurking in the cupboard (that way you can claim it is for cooking and not for those late night dirty martinis…).
