Spicy Seafood Pasta
This spicy seafood pasta sauce is served over spaghetti in this recipe.
You can adjust the quantity of chilli according to taste - start with a teaspoon though :-)
It would be equally good made into a lasagne or as a pasta bake.
There are recipes for these in the seafood pasta index - just substitute this spicy seafood pasta sauce for the sauce listed.
I love to serve pasta with hot crusty bread to mop up all the sauce - it's just too good to leave.
You can either bake your own, use a part baked bread that you can buy or simply heat up ready cooked bread in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
This is a good way of refreshing soggy crusty bread that has been leftover from the day before - it makes it crispy again.
Spicy Seafood Pasta
1 7 oz (200g) can of tuna - drained
4 oz (125g) cooked peeled prawns - defrosted
14 oz (400g) spaghetti
grated parmesan to serve
Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion - chopped finely
1 garlic clove - peeled and finely chopped
1 x 15 oz (425g) can of chopped peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato puree
4 oz (125ml) glass white wine - or water
1 teaspoon chilli powder
Heat the oil in a pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until soft and golden.
Add the tomatoes,puree and wine or water - simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
Add the chilli powder and mix in thoroughly.
Taste and add more chilli if you want to.
Whilst you're waiting for the sauce - prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the pack.
Get a very large pan to boil the water in and add a splash of olive oil to prevent the pasta sticking - stir very well once the water is boiling to separate the strands.
Add the tuna and prawns to the sauce - heat through for about 2 minutes.
Serve the sauce over the drained spaghetti.
You can garnish with a handful of chopped basil or parsley if you like.
