Cooking
Instructions
1
Cook the paccheri pasta in well-salted boiling water until al dente, reserving a little pasta water before draining.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan and gently cook the finely diced shallot until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
3
Stir in the tomato purée before adding the white wine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes and halved cherry tomatoes, seasoning with the salt, black pepper. Simmer gently for around 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5
Add the frozen mussels, frozen clams and squid rings. Simmer for around 4-5 minutes until fully heated through and the squid is tender.
6
Stir in the cooked king prawns and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through. Avoid overcooking the prawns.
7
Add the cooked pasta along with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed. Toss everything together with the chopped parsley.
8
Serve immediately with freshly cracked black pepper, extra parsley and a drizzle of good quality olive oil.
