"SEE-FOOD" PASTA...

I love seafood, its my fave protein to cook with especially when i'm hungry cos it cooks in mere minutes and low in cholesterol.

This recipe is a healthy pasta dish due to some slight variations.

250grm Wheat Spaghetti

500grms Calamari

350grm Prawns (De-veined but with the tail still on)

1 Chopped Spring (Green) Onion

1 Cup Roughly Cut Basil

1/4 Cup Chopped Parsley

A few Sprigs Fresh Thyme

2 Cups Tomato Sauce

3/4 Cup Single Cream

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 

1 Teaspoon Curry Powder

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Salt and Pepper

Dried Basil (for garnishing)

Put a pot of water to boil, add your pasta and a pinch of salt. You really don't need to add any oil when making pasta, as long as your pot isn't  crowded and you have enough water in the pot, your pasta won't stick together.

Cook until al dente (half done with just a bit of a bite). Rinse out with cold water and allow to sit in a colander.

A lot of us do not know the true form of some of the foods we eat. The alien looking white stuff on the left (for those who don't know) is Squid aka Calamari. Hope this doesn't put you off, a dear friend thanked me for showing her the picture AFTER we were done eating. Lol. Well, yeah, this is where the amazing breaded, fried calamari rings come from...

Rinse your prawns and calamari then cut up your calamari into little pieces and pop in the fridge.

Chop your herbs and set aside.

Pour olive oil into pan/pot/wok and add your tomato sauce and season. Allow to cook for 5 minutes then add calamari and prawns.

Next pour in your single cream and add all the herbs. Stir until its all properly combined then turn down the heat.

Add pasta, taste for seasoning and cover to cook for another 5 minutes. You want a moist pasta so it doesn't have to be dry before you take it off the heat, allow for a little sauce especially if you've cooked a big pot of food that you will have to refrigerate and re-heat.

Garnish with some dried basil and olives...
