Level “3rd succesful date!” Seafood Pasta Prep time: 30 mins Serves 1x stud and 1x fine shawty Ingredients: - 180g pasta - 80g finely sliced prawns - 80g finely sliced salmon - 75g fish stock or vegetable stock - 220g heavy cream - Splash of dry white wine - 120g Finely grated parmesan cheese, plus extra if needed - Small handful of finely chopped parsley - 1x Small finely chopped garlic - Small slice of lemon - Asparagus, trimmed/quartered - Neutral oil Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 110°C/230°F and place your plates in the oven to keep them warm until plating. 2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, but set the timer to 2 minutes less than recommended for al dente. Drain 3/4 of the water, reserving the remaining water with the pasta. Drizzle with olive oil, cover with a lid to keep warm to prevent it from sticking. 3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan until smoking hot. Add a generous amount of oil and add the prawns and salmon evenly. Allow them to cook undisturbed until golden on the bottom, flip once, season, and remove from heat to drain on paper towels. The seafood should be slightly undercooked at this stage. 4. Reduce the heat of the same pan slightly and add more oil along with the finely chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant but do not burn, then add a splash of dry white wine to deglaze. Add the stock and reduce by half. Pour in the cream and continue reducing until the sauce thickens to about 2/3 of its original volume. Stir in Parmesan cheese. 5. Add the cooked pasta and some reserved water to the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally. 6. In another frying pan, heat a bit of oil until very hot. Add the asparagus and cook until just tender, retaining a crunchy texture. Set aside and keep warm. 7. Check the sauce for desired thickness and add more Parmesan cheese if needed. Stir in the cooked seafood, add some finely chopped parsley and a small squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning and serve immediately. 8. Retrieve the warm plates and begin plating the pasta, top with the sautéed asparagus and a touch grated parmesan.
