A quick and easy meal for after our village nativity play: there’ll be plenty of more serious cooking to do over the next few days!
These quantities are for two people but just increase pro rata for more. Use more or less seafood according to personal preference.

Steps

30 minutes including prep

1

Cook the pasta in salted water and drain.
2

Meanwhile make the sauce. First bring the oil and butter to a medium-high heat and then gently fry the onion for 3 minutes, stirring only to avoid sticking.
3

Add the garlic, stir and fry for another minute. Then stir in the chilli, reduce to a medium heat and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Stir in the paprika and chopped tomatoes, add the oregano and sugar and cook for 3 more minutes. Then add the seafood, stir well and warm it through.
5

Add the sauce to the cooked pasta, top up with your chosen garnish.
