Seafood linguine recipe

Ingredients

  • 200g linguine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 150ml dry white wine
  • 500g fresh mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
  • 150g raw king prawns
  • 4 tbsp double cream
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, leaves and stalks chopped separately

Method

  • STEP 1

    Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain well, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, lidded saucepan. Add the garlic and chilli, season and cook for 2 mins over a low heat until fragrant. Tip in the wine and mussels, tossing to combine. Increase the heat to medium, cover tightly with a lid and cook for 2 mins.

  • STEP 3

    Add the prawns and cream, stir to combine, then cover again and cook for 2-3 mins until the prawns are pink and cooked through. If any mussels haven’t opened at this point, discard.

  • STEP 4

    Mix the cooked pasta into the sauce with the lemon juice and parsley. Add a splash of the reserved cooking water and cook for 1 min until the sauce is creamy and glossy. The sauce will be quite loose which is what you want – perfect for soaking up with crusty bread!

  • STEP 5

    Serve in bowls with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
