Seafood Marinara Penne


Pasta is really the easiest thing to cook. It is so simple & delicious. The most important things is children love pasta. I find my child is always in a big mess when she eat spaghetti. Nowadays I prefer to cook penne or tri colour rotini when she is around during weekend. Less mess for me to clean up. The way Italian cook are quite similar to Chinese in terms of cooking a big pot to feed the whole family.

When use seafood for cooking pasta- pls use freshest & high quality seafood.
This will definitely give the "wow" factor to your pasta.

Recipes:

Handful of fresh prawn - Keep the shell intact, but slit & remove the vein from behind
Frozen mussel (from NZ)
Fresh squid or cuttle fish
Good quality olive oil
Salt & pepper
Garlic
1 Jar of organic pasta sauces or whole plum tomato
Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Method:
1) Cook pasta according to the packet instruction, keep half a cup of the pasta water
2) In a separate saucepan, heat about 2 tbsp of olive oil, garlic in.
3) In all the seafood.
4) In the pasta sauces, let it simmers to cook the seafood thoroughly.
5) Stir in the cooked pasta for 1 min, season with salt & pepper. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
