Creamy Fragrant Seafood Pasta Recipes

CREAMY SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• In 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven, cook linguine as directed on package. Drain well; return to Dutch oven and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in blender, place clam chowder, milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and the garlic; blend on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add shrimp, mushrooms and onions; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp turn pink.
• Stir in pepper flakes and soup mixture; cook until thoroughly heated. Stir in parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour over cooked linguine in Dutch oven; toss gently to coat. Top individual servings with Parmesan cheese.

CREAMY GARLIC SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
• Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
• The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
• Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
• Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.
• Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
• Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
• Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CREAMY FRAGRANT SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
• In a pan, add around 1 tablespoonful of olive oil and gently sweat the finely chopped garlic for a couple of minutes. Once the garlic has softened and released its fragrance, add the double cream. Let it heat up.
• Add the salmon, roughly torn or cut into pieces. Cook for a couple of minutes until the salmon has turned opaque, stirring frequently. Then add the prawns. Cook for another 5-6 minutes.
• Add the olives, cut or left whole. Season with pepper but don't add salt as the salmon and olives are salty enough. Let it cook for another couple of minutes or until the sauce thickens.
• Right before taking it off the heat, add about half a teaspoonful of finely chopped dill and parsley (you could use dried).
• Mix the sauce with the drained pasta and serve.

Steps:

• Blend salmon, tuna, fennel and chives in a food processor.

• Add cottage cheese and stir some more.
• Throw sauce together with blended seafood/herbs in liquidiser/food processor. Blend everything together until a smooth sauce is formed.
• Put back in pot on low heat and stir until it starts cooking.
