Prawn and Clam Linguine                         July 2017

This is a simple and delicious meal to make for the family but it delvers on taste. If you are fish lover you will love this dish, it would make a great starter to the Roast Turbot with vegetable risotto


For 4 to 6 people you will need:


  •     60ml olive oil 
  •     2 cloves garlic crushed
  •     24 medium raw prawns, peeled
  •     300ml water 
  •     500g linguine 
  •     Sea Salt 
  •     24 Clams, in the shell scrubbed 
  •     ¼ tsp chilli flakes 
  •     1 tin of Italian tomato’s
  •     Black pepper
  •     Handful of flat-leaf parsley chopped


How to make:


Heat half the olive oil in a pan, add the garlic. 


Add the tin of tomato’s and a splash of white wine; simmer with lid off until the tomato and oil separate about 15 minuets.


Cook linguine in lots of salted boiling water for 10 minutes or 

until al dente. 


In a separate pan cook the clams in a little white wine until they open, discard any that don’t, put the open clams to one side and drain the liquid through a fine sieve into the pan containing the tomato’s


Add the prawns, bring to a low simmer if necessary, reduce liquor to sauce consistency, then season with a pinch of salt and the pepper. Add well-drained pasta and parsley and the cooked clams; toss together. 


Don’t over cook the clams or prawns or they will become rubbery.


Serve immediately.
