This is a recipe my mother does every so often. It's a good simple recipe but very flavoursome.

Steps

40 mins

1

You have to make the fish stock first, you can make it 24 hours in advance and set in fridge until needed or freeze it for longer.
2

In a pot add the water, the prawns, a few dried chili's and a few onion skins. Bring to the boil and cook until the prawns have turned pink normally 4-5 at the most. Take of the heat and remove the prawns from the pot set aside. Remove the onion peels and discard.
3

When the prawns have cooled down enough to handle. Peel the skin and heads and add all the discarded prawn peel, heads and chili's into a blitzer with half of the water. Blitz together very well. Set aside the now peeled prawns and the fish liquid to add to the pasta later.
4

Heat olive oil in a saucepan, then add the onion and garlic, fry for 3-5 minutes on medium heat until the onion becomes soft.
5

Add the can of tomatoes, paste, chopped pepper, bay leaf, salt and parsley and stir. Simmer for another 5-6 minutes, add about 100ml of water and allow to simmer down stirring regularly.
6

Add the stock cube and continue to simmer for another few minutes, then add the fish water and bring to boiling point.
7

Add the pasta, add more water if required to reach just about half way of the pot and continue to cook for a further 8-10 minutes.
8

Then add the fish pieces and clams, and continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes.
9

Lastly, add the cooked prawns and the mint to the pot and stir.
10

Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
