Spirale, Clams and Prawns
Using spirale pasta, this seafood recipe is super simple to create. The dish marries clams and prawns with chilli, garlic, lemon, olive oil and white wine.
Introduction
Fusilli can be used as an alternative to spirale. Peeled prawns preserved in brine, or frozen, are equally good for this recipe.
Ingredients
| 320g | spirale pasta |
| 1kg | clams |
| 250g | peeled prawns |
| 3 | garlic cloves |
| 1 | fresh red chilli |
| 100g | rocket leaves |
| Extra virgin olive oil | |
| 150ml | white wine |
Method
Peel and finely chop the garlic, seed and chop the chilli, and roughly chop the rocket. Wash the clams.
In a large thick-bottomed pan with a lid, heat 3 tbs olive oil and add the garlic, cook until soft, then add the clams and wine. Cover and cook until the clams have opened, about 2 minutes. Discard any that remain closed. Add the prawns, rocket and chilli and cover again to wilt the rocket. Keep warm.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, and add to the clams. Heat together for a minute, season and drizzle with olive oil.
