Ingredients

  • 400 g pasta I've used fresh spaghetti
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • handful of cherry tomatoes halved
  • 450 g frozen or fresh seafood mix
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • zest of half lemon
  • handful fresh parsley finely chopped
  • handful fresh basil finely chopped
  • sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • In the meantime, heat a large pan with the olive oil, over medium heat.
  • Add in onion and tomatoes and cook, stirring often, for about 5 mins. Season to taste.
  • Fold in the seafood mix and continue to cook for a further 5-6 mins, or until the seafood are cooked through.Season with salt and pepper to taste
  • When the water boils, drop the pasta in and cook al dente, about 2-3 mins if using fresh pasta.
  • Transfer the pasta into the pot with the seafood sauce and stir all ingredients together. Sprinkle with lemon zest, freshly chopped basil and parsley on top, and drizzle with a little bit of extra olive oil if you like. Serve immediately, family-style directly from the pot.
